    Last weekend I did some research on Thunar, PCManFM and SpaceFM.
    Now the issue is solved for me: I skip Thunar.
    I had chosen Thunar, because it is part of MX Linux. So it should work without systemd and be well supported.
    Unfortunately systemd sneaked in at MX – certainly not on purpose and maybe caused by dependencies of Thunar.

    So far I have ignored SpaceFM, because out of the box it does not look as clear and pretty as Thunar and SpaceFM.
    But it takes only a few minutes to give SpaceFM an appealing and functional appearance.
    Custom actions of Thunar are really conveniant. Now I have discovered, that SpaceFM has this function too. All the commands for Thunar custom actions can be used in SpaceFM as well.
    I have not found any hash- and media-tags-plugins for SpaceFM. That is no problem, because you can open GtkHash or EasyTAG with a right-click from SpaceFM.
    SpaceFM has more functions than Thunar and PCManFM. It is much lower on dependencies. So the chances are much lower too, that a sid-upgrade might brake it.

    It was good, that I had these problems with Thunar. It made me realize, that choosing SpaceFM has been a very wise decision of the antiX team.
