  <sect1 id="the-file-manager-window">
    <title>The File Manager Window</title>

    <para>
      By default the file manager window consists of a shortcut pane on the left side, the main area on the right
      and a pathbar above the main area.
    </para>

    <screenshot>
      <mediaobject>
        <imageobject>
          <imagedata fileref="images/file-manager-window.png" format="PNG"/>
        </imageobject>

        <textobject>
          <phrase>File Manager Window</phrase>
        </textobject>
      </mediaobject>
    </screenshot>

    <para>
      The <guilabel>Shortcut Pane</guilabel> provides shortcuts to different folders on your system. The first
      shortcut will lead to your <emphasis>Home Folder</emphasis>, the folder you store all your personal data,
      and will therefore have the name of the current user. The second shortcut will take you to the trash bin,
      which stores deleted files that can be recovered later. The third shortcut takes you to the <emphasis>Desktop
      Folder</emphasis>, which contains the files and folders that are displayed on the desktop. The fourth
      shortcut will take you to the root of your file system - you may want to explore it a bit, even though
      it may be confusing to you if you are new to Linux/Unix. Just click on the different folders and see what is
      inside.
    </para>

    <para>
      Below the <emphasis>File System</emphasis> shortcut, the removable drives and media will be displayed. In
      the screenshot above, you can see a <guilabel>Floppy Drive</guilabel> shortcut. Click on these shortcuts
      to access the data stored on the removable drives and media. See <xref linkend="using-removable-media"/>
      for further details.
    </para>

    <para>
      The remaining shortcuts are user defined. Add your own shortcuts by simply dragging folders to the
      <guilabel>Shortcuts Pane</guilabel>. This will allow you to access important folders instantly. To
      remove a previously added shortcut, right-click on the shortcut and choose <guimenuitem>Remove Shortcut</guimenuitem>.
      To rename a previously added shortcut, right-click on the shortcut and choose <guimenuitem>Rename Shortcut</guimenuitem>.
      Note that these actions affect only the shortcut, not the folder referenced by the shortcuts.
    </para>

    <para>
      The <emphasis>main area</emphasis> will always display the contents of the current folder. Double click on
      folders to enter them, and right-click on files or folders to get a context-menu offering some choices of
      what to do with it. Select multiple files by dragging a rectangle over them with the mouse. Alternatively,
      select one file, hold down the <keycap>Shift</keycap> key, and increase or decrease the selection using
      the arrow keys.
    </para>

    <para>
      The <emphasis>pathbar</emphasis> will always show the path you took to get to the folder you are currently
      at. You can click on any pathbar button to change to the folder it represents. Right-click on a pathbar
      button to bring up a context-menu with some options.
    </para>

      <title>Customizing the Appearance</title>

      <para>
        There are many ways to customize the appearance of the file manager windows. In case you do not like the
        way the icons are displayed, choose <menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu><guimenuitem>View as Detailed List</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
        from the main menu to have the contents of the current folder displayed as a list.
      </para>

        You can have the file manager windows display a location bar instead of the pathbar by choosing
        <menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu><guimenuitem>Location Selector</guimenuitem><guimenuitem>Toolbar Style</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
        from the main menu.

      <para>
        In case you prefer a treeview in the left pane, choose
        <menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu><guimenuitem>Side Pane</guimenuitem><guimenuitem>Tree</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
        from the main menu.

        <title>Visible Columns in the Detailed List View</title>

        <para>
          If you prefer to display the contents of the folder as a list, using the <guilabel>Detailed List View</guilabel>, you can
          customize the columns displayed in the list view. To customize the visible columns, choose

    <title>Working with Files and Folders</title>


    <sect2 id="opening-files">
      <title>Opening Files</title>

      <para>
        When you open a file, the file manager performs the default action for that file type. For example, opening a text file
        will display it in the default text editor, while opening an image file will display the image in the default image
        viewer.
      </para>

      <para>
        The file manager checks the extension of a file to determine the type of a file. If the file has no known extension, the
        file manager examines the contents of the file.
      </para>

      <sect3 id="executing-the-default-action">
        <title>Executing the Default Action</title>

        <para>
          To execute the default for a file, double-click on the file. For example, the default action for audio files is to
          play the it with the default music playing application. In this case, you can double-click on the file to open the
          file in the music player.
        </para>

        <para>
          You can set <application>Thunar</application> preferences so that you click once on a file to execute the default
          action. For information, see <xref linkend="preferences-behavior"/>.
        </para>
      </sect3>

      <sect3 id="executing-non-default-actions">
        <title>Executing Non-Default Actions</title>

        <para>
          To execute actions other than the default action for a file, select the file that you want to perform an action on.
          Choose the desired action from the <emphasis>Open With</emphasis> choices available in <guimenu>File</guimenu> menu
          or an <guimenu>Open With</guimenu> submenu.
        </para>
      </sect3>

      <sect3 id="adding-actions">
        <title>Adding Actions</title>

        <para>
          To add actions associated with a file type, perform the following steps:
        </para>

        <orderedlist>
          <listitem>

            </para>
          </listitem>
        </orderedlist>

        <para>
          The action you have chosen is now added to the list of actions for that particular file type. If you enabled the
          <guibutton>Use as default for this kind of file</guibutton> option or there was no prior action associated with the
          type, the newly added action is the default.
        </para>

        <para>
          You may also add actions using the <guibutton>Open With</guibutton> button under
          <menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu><guimenuitem>Properties...</guimenuitem></menuchoice>.

    <sect2 id="accessing-removable-media">
      <title>Accessing Removable Media</title>

      <para>
        Thunar supports removable media if it was built with support for <ulink type="http" url="http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fhal">HAL</ulink>,
        or if you are using <ulink type="http" url="http://www.freebsd.org/">FreeBSD</ulink>. Note however that on FreeBSD 6.0 or newer, it is
        suggested to use HAL rather than the native support provided by Thunar.
      </para>

      <sect3 id="to-mount-media">
        <title>To Mount Media</title>

        <para>
          To <emphasis>mount</emphasis> media is to make the file system of the media available for access. When you mount media, the
          file system of the media is attached as a subdirectory to your file system.
        </para>

        <para>
          To access media, insert the media in the appropriate device, or connect the new device to your computer (i.e. connect an USB
          stick to one of your USB ports). An object that represents the media is added to the side pane of the file manager. If
          <application>xfdesktop</application> is running and configured to display <guilabel>File/launcher icons</guilabel> this
          object will also be added to your desktop.
        </para>

        <para>
          To actually mount the media, click on the object that represents the media. For example, to mount a floppy diskette,
          click on the <guilabel>Floppy Drive</guilabel> object in the side pane. The file manager will now add the file system
          of the media to your file system hierarchy and display the contents of the floppy diskette in the main area.
        </para>
      </sect3>

      <sect3 id="to-eject-media">
        <title>To Eject Media</title>

        <para>
          If the drive for the media is a motorized drive (i.e. a CD-ROM drive), right-click on the media object in the side pane
          or on the desktop and choose <guilabel>Eject Volume</guilabel>. The media is ejected from the drive after a few seconds.
          If the drive for the media is not motorized (i.e. a floppy drive or an USB stick), right-click on the media object and
          choose <guilabel>Unmount Volume</guilabel>. After a short period of time, a notification will appear to inform you
          that it is now safe to remove the media or disconnect the drive from the computer.

        <para>
          However this notification will only be displayed if support for <application>libnotify</application> is enabled,
          and you have installed a notification daemon. A notification daemon for Xfce is available from the <ulink type="http" url="http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/applications/notification-daemon-xfce">Xfce Goodies Project</ulink>.
          If notification support is not available, wait until the context menu disappears before you remove the media or disconnect
          the drive.
        </para>

        <para>
          Be aware that you cannot eject or unmount media that is still in use by one or more applications. Therefore if the file
          manager refuses to eject media, make sure you close all applications that were accessing the media, and be sure to also
          check command line applications running in <application>Terminal</application> windows.
        </para>

        <para>
          Make sure to unmount removable media before ejecting. Do not eject a diskette from the floppy drive before your unmount
          the diskette. Do not remove an USB stick before you unmount the flash drive. If you do not unmount the media first you
          might lose data or cause your system to crash.

              This option must be enabled for certain other features to work with removable drives. For example,
              if you disable this option, certain kinds of portable music players cannot be detected any more and

      <para>
        By default, the <guilabel>Send To</guilabel> menu includes an entry named <guilabel>Desktop (Create Link)</guilabel> for all
        files and folders, which simply creates a link on the desktop for each selected file. In addition, if the <guilabel>Shortcuts
        Pane</guilabel> is active, the menu also includes an entry called <guilabel>Side Pane (Create Shortcut)</guilabel> for folders,
        which allows users to add new shortcuts to the side pane. Following these entries, <application>Thunar</application> lists
        the removable drives currently plugged into the computer. In the screenshot above, the <guilabel>Floppy Drive</guilabel>
        represents a possible target where files can be sent to. Note that the device is mounted automatically once selected from
        the <guilabel>Send To</guilabel> menu, so you do not need to manually mount it.
      </para>

      <para>
        In addition <application>Thunar</application> also ships the <application>thunar-sendto-email</application> plugin, which adds
        the entry <guilabel>Mail Recipient</guilabel> to the menu, that opens the mail composer with the selected files attach to the
        new email. If the selection contains atleast one folder, the selected items are added to a ZIP archive before attaching them
        to the email. Otherwise, if the selection contains multiple files, or a single file, which is larger than 200Kib, the user will
        be prompted whether to pack the files into a ZIP archive, and send the ZIP archive.
      </para>

      <para>
        Like most other features of <application>Thunar</application>, the <guilabel>Send to</guilabel> menu can be easily extended
        by users and application developers with new targets, using standard <ulink type="http" url="http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fdesktop_2dentry_2dspec">desktop entry files</ulink>. These files must be
        installed into one of the <filename role="directory">$XDG_DATA_DIRS/Thunar/sendto/</filename> folders (see the <ulink type="http" url="http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fbasedir_2dspec">XDG Base Directory Specification</ulink> for details about the
        <literal>$XDG_DATA_DIRS</literal> variable).
      </para>

      <para>
        The <literal>MimeType</literal> of the target <filename>.desktop</filename> specifies the types of files for which this action
        should be available in the <guilabel>Send To</guilabel> menu. For example, say you want to add entry for a <ulink type="http" url="http://flickr.com/">Flickr</ulink> uploader tool, then this entry should only show up if the selection contains JPEG
        files (other file formats are not supported by Flickr) and so you should add a line <literal>MimeType=image/jpeg;</literal>.
        If you do not specify any <literal>MimeType</literal> your entry will show up for all file types.
      </para>

      <para>
        A complete example using the <application>postr</application> application is shown below:

        If you install this file to <filename role="directory">~/.local/share/Thunar/sendto/</filename> (create the folder if
        it does not exist yet), the <guilabel>Send To</guilabel> menu for JPEG files will show the new entry <guilabel>Flickr</guilabel>,
        which can be used to upload JPEG images to Flickr.

      <title>Thumbnailers</title>

      <para>
        Thunar uses small utilities to create thumbnails of certain file types and displays the thumbnails as preview of the
        file content. These small tools are called thumbnailers. Thunar ships with thumbnailers for image and font files, and
        makes use of the installed thumbnailers from GNOME automatically if it was installed with support for <literal>gconf</literal>.
        Users may however dynamically extend this basic functionality with thumbnailers for additional file types.
      </para>

      <para>
        If you plan to write a custom thumbnailers, you need to start with a program that accepts atleast two command line parameters,
        the input file, which is of the file type you plan to support and the output file, which is a PNG file that complies with the
        format specified by the <ulink type="http" url="http://jens.triq.net/thumbnail-spec/creation.html#AEN139">Thumbnail Management
        Standard</ulink>. Additionally your program may also accept the desired size of the thumbnail, which is optional but highly
        recommended. If you write the output file at an arbitrary image size, Thunar will afterwards scale it to the desired size,
        which might produce a less optimal result than generating the thumbnail with the requested dimensions.
      </para>

      <para>
        Once your utility to generate the thumbnails is done, you will need to register your thumbnailer, so Thunar is able to locate
        and use it. Therefore all you need to do is to install a description file for the thumbnailer (a <filename>.desktop</filename> file)
        in one of the <filename role="directory">$XDG_DATA_DIRS/thumbnailers/</filename> paths. For example, if you want to register the
        thumbnailer for your user account only, you can install the file into the folder <filename role="directory">~/.local/share/thumbnailers/</filename>. The <filename>.desktop</filename> for thumbnailers has the following format.
      </para>

      <sect3 id="thumbnailer-desktop-file-format">
        <title>Thumbnailer Description File Format</title>

        <para>

          The <literal>Version</literal> and <literal>Encoding</literal> are mandated by the Desktop Entry Specification, just use the values shown

        </para>

        <para>
          The <literal>X-Thumbnailer-Exec</literal> field contains the command to run your thumbnailer, and supports certain field codes that will

        <title>Example EPS Thumbnailer</title>

        <para>
          This example demonstrates how to write and install a new thumbnailer for <filename>.eps</filename> files, which uses the
          <command>convert</command> utility that ships as part of ImageMagick. First, we start with a simple script that invokes
          <command>convert</command> to generate a thumbnail at the requested size.
        </para>

        <programlisting>
#!/bin/sh
#
# eps-thumbnailer - Example thumbnailer script for EPS files.
#
# Usage: esp-thumbnailer eps-file png-file size
#

# command line parameters
ifile=$1
ofile=$2
size=$3

# invoke convert (ImageMagick)
exec convert "eps:$ifile" -scale "$sizex$size" "png:$ofile"</programlisting>

        <para>
          Save this script above to a file <filename>eps-thumbnailer</filename>, make sure the file is executable and install it
          to <filename role="directory">/usr/local/bin</filename>.
        </para>

        <screen>
$ chmod +x eps-thumbnailer
$ sudo install eps-thumbnailer /usr/local/bin/eps-thumbnailer</screen>

        <para>
          Next we need to create the thumbnail description file <filename>eps-thumbnailer.desktop</filename>, which looks like this:
        </para>

        <programlisting>
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=X-Thumbnailer
Name=EPS Thumbnailer
TryExec=convert
MimeType=image/x-eps;
X-Thumbnailer-Exec=/usr/local/bin/eps-thumbnailer %i %o %s</programlisting>

        <para>
          This file must be installed to <filename role="directory">/usr/local/share/thumbnailers</filename> (create the folder if
          it does not exists).
        </para>

        <screen>
$ sudo install -d /usr/local/share/thumbnailers
$ sudo install eps-thumbnailer.desktop /usr/local/share/thumbnailers/eps-thumbnailer.desktop</screen>

        <para>
          The <filename>eps-thumbnailer.desktop</filename> file uses the special key <literal>TryExec</literal>, which, if specified,
          names a command that must be present on the system for the thumbnailer to be useful. In this case, our script is useless if
          the <command>convert</command> utility is not present.
        </para>

        <para>
          The last step is to regenerate the thumbnailer cache, so Thunar will pick up our thumbnailer. The thumbnailer cache is located
          at <filename>$XDG_CACHE_HOME/Thunar/thumbnailers.cache</filename> (unless overridden by your or your system administrator, the
          <varname>$XDG_CACHE_HOME</varname> points to the folder <filename role="directory">~/.cache/</filename>). The thumbnailers
          cache is regenerated periodically by Thunar, but you can force to regenerate it by invoking the
          <filename>thunar-vfs-update-thumbnailers-cache-1</filename> utility, that ships as part of Thunar. This utility is usually installed
          in the <filename role="directory">libexec</filename> subfolder of your installation prefix (<filename role="directory">sbin</filename>
          on Debian/Ubuntu). So for example, if Thunar is installed in <filename role="directory">/usr</filename>, invoke the utility as
          follows:
        </para>

        <screen>$ /usr/libexec/thunar-vfs-update-thumbnailers-cache-1</screen>

        <para>
          But make sure you run the program from your user account, not the superuser account, since the thumbnailers cache is stored in
          your home folder, rather than a system wide location.
        </para>

        <para>
          Now, if Thunar is compiled with support for file alteration monitoring (using the FAM or Gamin services), it will automatically
          pick up the new thumbnailers cache within a few seconds and afterwards be able to generate thumbnails using your custom
          thumbnailers. Otherwise you might need to completely restart Thunar to apply the changes, using
        </para>

        <screen>$ Thunar -q</screen>

        <para>
          to terminate any running instance, and afterwards restart it from your launcher.

      <title> UNIX 檔案系統</title>

      <para>既然 Thunar 檔案總管已經幫您把使用檔案的瑣碎細節給處理好了，一般使用者其實可以不必管這些細節的東西。不過稍微了解一下整體性的觀點，有時候對您也會十分有用的哦。本章節將會初淺地介紹 UNIX 檔案系統的基本概念，這些概念在每一種 UNIX 上都可以套用，當然也包括了 Linux。</para>

      <sect3 id="folders-and-paths">
        <title>檔案與路徑</title>

        <para>在 UNIX 檔案系統中，所有的資料夾都可以像摸藤找地瓜一樣 ；匯歸到同一個最初始的源頭目錄。這一個目錄，我們叫它 <emphasis>根目錄</emphasis> (我們比較常用 <emphasis>目錄</emphasis>這個字眼而不是用 <emphasis>資料夾</emphasis>)而在 Thunar 裡則是顯示為<guilabel>檔案系統</guilabel> 。這表示在開枝散葉的樹狀結構中，您可以很有條理地在各個資料夾裡層層往上推，最後都是殊途同歸；然後再來清楚地往下尋找您想要找到的資料夾，一切都有條不紊。</para>

        <para>在系統裡任何檔案或資料夾的位置都能用所謂的 <emphasis>路徑</emphasis> 來描述。 路徑會以根目錄為起始，條列出您指定的檔案或資料夾的精確位置。舉個例子來看： <filename role="directory">/home/luke</filename> 就是表示從根目錄算起，<filename role="directory">luke</filename> 是位於 <filename role="directory">home</filename> 底下的子目錄，而<filename>/home/luke/myfile.txt</filename> 表示檔案 <filename>myfile.txt</filename> 就放在子目錄裡。最前面的反斜線 <filename role="directory">/</filename> 就是代表根目錄的意思。</para>

        <para>每位使用者都擁有自己的目錄以置放自己的檔案和相關的設定。這個目錄稱為<emphasis>家目錄</emphasis> ，您在 Thunar 工具列上會看到一個標示著您登入帳號的特別小圖示。這個目錄有點類似您在Windows 底下常看到的 <guilabel>我的文件夾</guilabel>。 系統使用者的<emphasis>家目錄</emphasis> 通常是被放在 <filename role="directory">/home</filename> 這個目錄底下。比如說 <filename role="directory">/home/luke</filename> 這個目錄就是登入帳號為 <filename role="directory">luke</filename>這個用戶的家目錄。同樣地 <filename role="directory">/home/jane</filename>也就是登入帳號為<filename role="directory">jane</filename>這個使用者的家目錄。</para>

      <title>請問 Thunar 的功能設定放在哪裡呢？</title>

      <para>Thunar 將可供使用者調整的設定 (以及隱含的設定) 放在一個類似 <filename>.ini</filename> 的檔案中，我們把它放在 <filename>$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Thunar/thunarrc</filename> 這個檔案裡頭，您可以使用文字編輯器來直接加以修改。請參考 <filename>docs/README.thunarrc</filename> 說明檔案以便認識這些設定選項。</para>

      <title>要怎麼在 Thunar 裡頭使用滑鼠手勢？</title>

      <para>Thunar 現在使用圖示檢視模式時可以玩到一種叫作 <emphasis>滑鼠手勢</emphasis> 的新功能。要使用 <emphasis>滑鼠手勢</emphasis> 您需要按住滑鼠中鍵 (也就是滾輪的地方) 不放，然後在檔案總管空白的地方就會出現之前沒看過的箭頭游標 (請注意不要點到任何檔案圖示或文字)。 現在您可以上下左右動動看這個游標，我們將為您說明指到這四個方向有什麼作用。</para>

      <title>我要怎樣才能改成我想要的快速鍵？</title>

      <para>如果您想要更改快速鍵，Thunar 支援標準的 GTK+  行為方便您改動快速鍵：只要將滑鼠游標指到程式選單中您可以反白的操作選項那裡，然後馬上按下您想要的快速鍵組合就行了。</para>

      <para>要消除您不想要的快速鍵，同樣也是滑鼠擺到程式選單可以反白的操作選項那裡然後按下消去鍵( <keycap>Backspace</keycap> )即可。</para>

      <para>如果設定的快速鍵沒有更動，那麼您需要自行啟用 GTK+ 的這個好用之處。有3種方法可以幫您做到:</para>

      <itemizedlist>
        <listitem>
          <para>如果您有執行 Xfce 4.3 或更新的版本，請在<guilabel>使用者介面自定</guilabel> 設定中心的地方勾選 <guilabel>自定程式選單功能</guilabel> 選項即可。</para>
        </listitem>

        <listitem>
          <para>如果您在執行 GNOME 桌面，則在控制台中 <guilabel>選單及工具列</guilabel> 的地方勾選 <guilabel>自定程式選單功能</guilabel> 。</para>
        </listitem>

        <listitem>
          <para>最後手段就是在您的 <filename>~/.gtkrc-2.0</filename> 設定檔(沒有的話請自行建立)裡加上這一段 :<screen>gtk-can-change-accels=1</screen></para>
        </listitem>
      </itemizedlist>
    </sect3>

    <sect3 id="faq-store-keyboard-shortcuts">
      <title>那麼 Thunar 是把快速鍵的設定放在哪裡呢？</title>

      <para>自定的快速鍵會存成標準的 GTK+ accel 對映格式然後擺在 <filename>$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Thunar/accels.scm</filename>這個檔案裡。您若看到每行最前面有 <literal>;</literal> 就是註解停用的。請參考 GTK+ 文件以便深入了解這種檔案格式的細節。</para>

      <para>如果您是軟體包裝人員或是系統管理員，那麼也許會想要提供一組全域適用的預設快速鍵，而不是採用Thunar 原始碼中提供的設定。您可以建立像 <filename>Thunar/accels.scm</filename> 的檔案，放在 <envar>$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS</envar> 的資料夾裡。舉例來說，如果 <filename role="directory">/etc/xdg</filename> 屬於 <envar>$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS</envar> (大多數 Linux 套件的預設路徑)的話，您就可以把全域使用的快速鍵放在<filename>/etc/xdg/Thunar/accels.scm</filename>這邊。Thunar 在初次啟動時就會載入這裡的快速鍵設定。</para>

      <listitem>
        <para><emphasis role="bold">出錯屢試不爽</emphasis> 如果開發人員在他那邊沒有辦法重現出錯的步驟，也就無從得知如何修理了。請儘量提供您如何操作時的細節。</para>

    <para>如果您想要下一版能加入一些新功能，請清楚地跟我們講為何加入的功能可以讓程式更好用。假若您提出的新功能真地讓我們覺得夠好夠讚非加不可，下一版的程式可能就會有哦。懂得修改程式的您如果能夠提供實作新功能的 patch ，那麼下一版會出現的機會就更大了。不過請先閱讀網站上的 <ulink type="http" url="http://svn.xfce.org/svn/xfce/terminal/trunk/HACKING">HACKING</ulink> 說明- 尤其是 <emphasis>Coding Style</emphasis> 這一節- 這樣合作起來才會更愉快哦。</para>
