[solved] open address location (pcmanfm, thunar, lxpanel ?)

in lxde
is it possible to run a location address? i mean, if i put an address in the run application window (alt+f2 by default), i got an error. instead, i would like thunar to open at that location (windows explorer style). or the terminal.
but i don't even know which program gives that menu. is it pcmanfm (the desktop manager), lxpanel or something?

To run a location address through the run application window (alt + F2) enter the following command:

thunar (or pcmanfm) "path to file"
examples:
thunar /usr/share/applications
thunar /etc
thunar ~/Dropbox

Also, pcmanfm has an address bar once you open the file manager.

i make a symbolic link to thunar in /usr/bin, named th. a bit faster!
