I've searched the forum, and repeatedly searched the internet, and I'm still not sure.

Where are all thunar's dotfiles?

Are they all in ~/.config/Thunar

Or are some also in ~/.config/xfce4

Code: Select all

~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/thunar.xml
(Though this is not a dot file itself )

Sorry I did not reply sooner. I did not know there had been a reply. I don't think I got an email.

Thanks. Now I know there are no extra locations I need to worry about backing up.

I was thrown by having a Thunar folder in .config. What's that for? I see it holds 3 files.

accels.scm
renamerrc
uca.xml

I can't figure out the accels file. It says inside it - ; this file is an automated accelerator map dump. God knows what that means.

I can see what renamerrc does.

the xml file has some info' about the terminal emulator, which I don't think I need as I've had to configure thunar to open up konsole.

uca.xml is the User Custom Actions are stored.

accels.scm will have information pertaining to changed shortcut keys. might be empty or not present if no defaults have been changed. User Custom Actions with shortcut keys get defined there.
