Debugging Support
Thunar currently supports four different levels of debugging support, which can be setup using the configure flag --enable-debug (check the output of configure --help):
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
full |
Use this if you want to debug Thunar to locate a bug. The build will most probably be noticably slower. This is also recommended for people that want to develop Thunar stuff. |
yes |
Adds all kinds of checks to the code, and is therefore likely to run slower. Use this if you want to develop for Thunar (e.g. writing Thunar extensions and such). |
minimum |
This is the default for release builds, and presents the recommended behaviour. |
no |
Disables all sanity checks. Don't use this unless you know exactly what you do. |
Standards compliance
Thunar supports the following standards/specifications:
- XDG Base Directory Specification
- Shared MIME Database Specification
- X Direct Save (XDS) Protocol for the X Window System
