 +===== Introduction =====
 The //Thunar Volume Manager// is an extension for the //[[http://thunar.xfce.org/|Thunar]]// file manager, which enables automatic management of removable drives and media. For example, if thunar-volman is installed and configured properly, and you plug in your digital camera, it will automatically launch your preferred photo application and import the new pictures from the camera into your photo collection. The //Thunar Volume Manager// is an extension for the //[[http://thunar.xfce.org/|Thunar]]// file manager, which enables automatic management of removable drives and media.

 The advantage of Thunar Volume Manager over other solutions (like gnome-volume-manager or ivman) is that it does not require an additional daemon to be running in the users desktop session, which means it is a very lightweight solution. In addition, the Thunar Volume Manager smoothly integrates into the Thunar file manager and the Xfce desktop. The advantage of Thunar Volume Manager over other solutions (like gnome-volume-manager or ivman) is that it does not require an additional daemon to be running in the users desktop session, which means it is a very lightweight solution.

 It was designed to look and behave similar to gnome-volume-manager to get consistent removable drive and media management in Xfce and GNOME. This is to help GNOME refugees and people using both Xfce and GNOME.  It was designed to look and behave similar to gnome-volume-manager to get consistent removable drive and media management in Xfce and GNOME.

 + 
 +===== Required packages ===== 
 + 
 + 
 +thunar-volman depends on the following packages: 
 + 
 +  * Thunar 1.7.0 or above 
 +  * exo 0.10.0 or above 
 +  * glib 2.30.0 or above 
 +  * GTK+ 3.20.0 or above 
 +  * GUDev 145 or above 
 +  * libxfce4ui 4.12.0 or above 
 +  * libxfce4util 4.12.0 or above 
 +  * xfconf 4.12.0 or above 
 +

 + 
 +===== Debugging Support ===== 
 + 
 +thunar-volman currently supports four different levels of debugging supportwhich 
 +can be setup using the configure flag `--enable-debug' (check the output of 
 +`configure --help'): 
 + 
 +  `full' Use this if you want to debug thunar-volman to locate a bug. 
 + The build will most probably be noticably slower. This is also 
 + recommended for people that want to develop thunar-volman stuff. 
 + 
 +  `yes' This is the default for SVN snapshot builds. It adds all 
 +  kinds of checks to the code, and is therefore likely to run 
 + slower.

-==== Stable releases ==== 
-Source tarballs and binary packages of the latest stable release 0.3.80 (and earlier releases) are available from the Xfce Goodies [[http://goodies.xfce.org/releases/thunar-volman|download page]].  
  
-==== Getting the source from SVN ==== 
- The Thunar Volume Manager - just like the other Xfce Goodies - is available from the Xfce Goodies SVN repository, which means that you will need to install a Subversion client in order to be able to check out from the SVN repository (you can use the web interface for browsing the repository). 
- 
-You can download the latest version of thunar-volman using the following command: 
- 
-<code> 
-svn co http://svn.xfce.org/svn/goodies/thunar-volman/trunk \ 
-       thunar-volman 
- </code>          
- 
-This will create a new directory thunar-volman in the current path, which contains the latest version from the repository.
