Huckleberry Finn,
Yup, I forgot to read his QSI, which indeed shows he is running KDE.
Sorry.
But I think you can do the same action in KDE...it's been a while since I used KDE.

@ancer It is best not to mix file managers from different desktop environments ( DEs ) . Your KDE system already has the dolphin file manager . You shouldn't have installed the one from XFCE . If I were in your place , I would do a clean reinstall ( but you better ask expert opinion on this - don't follow my advice blindly ) . Instead of installing another file manager , you could have run
in a terminal opened in the required location - that would be DE independent and would have satisfied
@entropyfoe 's requirement .

Yup, agreed. Probably best to completely purge Thunar.
Any higher level advice?

I don't know that deep into DEs and file managers. Please ask experts on this topic.
