Advanced Settings

While most setting can be configured using the menu and/or the Preferences dialog, some of the settings are not visible in the interface because they are considered not general enough for the average user.

Hidden Settings

The hidden settings need to be specifically enabled in the settings channel of Thunar to enable or change their functionality.

Below a table of the settings and the commands on how to enable them.

Property Value Type Description
/misc-always-show-tabs bool If the view tabs should always be visible.
/misc-case-sensitive bool Determines whether the sorting should be done in a case-sensitive manner. The default is false.
/misc-full-path-in-title bool Show the full directory path in the window title, instead of only the directory name.
/misc-horizontal-wheel-navigates bool Controls whether the horizontal mouse wheel is used to navigate back and forth within a Thunar view, or whether it should be used for horizontal scrolling.
/misc-image-size-in-statusbar bool Show the image size in the statusbar when a single image file is selected in the view. This is disabled by default because it causes relatively high I/O when changing the selection quickly.
/misc-remember-geometry bool Whether Thunar should remember the size of windows and apply that size to new windows. If true the width and height are saved to last-window-width and last-window-height. If false the user may specify the start size in 'last-window-width and 'last-window-height. This option is enabled by default.
/misc-small-toolbar-icons bool Use small icons on the toolbar instead of the default toolbar size.
/misc-tab-close-middle-click bool Whether to close tabs when the tab label is clicked with the 2nd/middle-mouse-button.
/misc-exec-shell-scripts-by-default bool Whether shell scripts should be executed or opened by default. The default action is to open them; setting this to TRUE will allow executing them.
