## Property Details

### The `“selected-files”` property

      “selected-files”           ThunarxFileInfoList *

The list of currently selected files for the ThunarWindow to which this ThunarComponent belongs.

The exact semantics of this property depend on the implementor of this interface. For example, ThunarComponents will update the property depending on the users selection with the GtkTreeComponent or ExoIconComponent. While other components in a window, like the ThunarShortcutsPane, will not update this property on their own, but rely on ThunarWindow to synchronize the selected files list with the selected files list from the active ThunarComponent.

This way all components can behave properly depending on the set of selected files even though they don't have direct access to the ThunarComponent.
