<a name="ThunarxPreferencesProvider.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>The ThunarxPreferencesProvider interface is implemented by extensions that
want to register additional items in the preferences menu of the file
manager. In general this should only be done by extensions that are closely
tied to the file manager (for example, the <code class="literal">thunar-uca</code> is
such an extension, while an extension that just adds <span class="guimenuitem">Compress
file</span> and <span class="guimenuitem">Uncompress file</span> to the
context menu of compressed files should not add their own preferences to
the file manager menu, because it should use desktop-wide settings for
archive managers instead).</p>
<p>The name of <a class="link" href="ThunarxMenuItem.html" title="ThunarxMenuItem"><span class="type">ThunarxMenuItem</span></a>s
returned from the thunarx_preferences_provider_get_menu <code class="function">items()</code> method must be
namespaced with the model to avoid collision with internal file manager menu items
and menu items provided by other extensions. For example, the preferences menu item
provided by the <code class="literal">thunar-uca</code> extension is called
<code class="literal">ThunarUca::manage-menu-items</code>.</p>

 has to offer
as preferences within <em class="parameter"><code>window</code></em>
. These menu items will usually be added
to the builtin list of preferences in the "Edit" menu of the file
manager's <em class="parameter"><code>window</code></em>
.</p>
<p>Plugin writers that implement this interface should make sure to
choose descriptive names and tooltips, and not to crowd the
"Edit" menu too much. That said, think twice before implementing
this interface, as too many preference menu items will render the
file manager useless over time!</p>
<p>The caller is responsible to free the returned list of menu items using
something like this when no longer needed:</p>
