Thunar is a file manager for Linux and other Unix-like systems, initially written using the GTK+ 2 toolkit and later ported to the GTK+ 3 toolkit. It started to ship with Xfce in version 4.4 RC1 and later. Thunar is developed by Benedikt Meurer, and was originally intended to replace XFFM, Xfce's previous file manager.
The program can accomplish file management tasks with a few keystrokes, and mouse input is optional. In conjunction with extensions including the rifle file opener and scope.sh, ranger can be scripted to open files with pre-defined programs, and to display a preview of the selected file by calling external programs.

Nemo version 1.0.0 was released in July 2012 along with version 1.6 of Cinnamon, [3] [better source needed] reaching version 1.1.2 in November 2012. [4] It started as a fork of the GNOME file manager Nautilus v3.4 [5] [6] [7] [better source needed] after the developers of the operating system Linux Mint considered that "Nautilus 3.6 is a catastrophe".
By default, handling of archive files (e.g. .tar.gz) was handed off to File Roller (or another tool). Users now benefit from a progress bar, undo support, and an archive creation wizard. The new "extract on open" behavior, which automatically extracts an archive file by double clicking it, can be disabled in the preferences. [23]
Worker is an orthodox file manager, with many advanced features and extendable from configuration and Lua (programming language) scripting designed after Amiga Directory Opus. Dependencies are minimal for X11 on Unix-like operating systems.
Twin-panel file managers have obligatory connected panels where action in one panel results in reaction in the second. Konqueror supports multiple panels divided horizontally, vertically or both, but these panels do not act as twin panels by default (the user has to mark the panels he wants to act as twin-panels).
xterm is the standard terminal emulator for the X Window System. It allows users to run programs which require a command-line interface . If no particular program is specified, xterm runs the user's shell .
VTE is a library (libvte) implementing a terminal emulator widget for GTK, and a minimal sample application (vte) using that. VTE is mainly used in gnome-terminal, but can also be used to embed a console/terminal in games, editors, IDEs, etc. The VTE library provides a terminal emulator widget VteTerminal for applications using the GTK toolkit.
