This section tries to give a brief introduction to the concepts of the UNIX file system, which is used today by all incarnations of UNIX, including Linux. anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) Wed, 11 Mar 2015 12:47:15 +0000 https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/4.10/using-removable-media?rev=1426077940&do=diff Using Removable Media Accessing Removable Media Thunar supports removable media if it was built with support for HAL, or if you are using FreeBSD. Note however that on FreeBSD 6.0 or newer, it is suggested to use HAL rather than the native support provided by Thunar. anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) Wed, 11 Mar 2015 12:45:40 +0000 https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/4.10/working-with-files-and-folders?rev=1426077910&do=diff Working with Files and Folders Opening Files When you open a file, the file manager performs the default action for that file type.
