Thunar
Open disk image files read-write
Thunar seems to open disk images read-only by default. This makes sense for ISO-images and probably a bunch of other use cases, but not for image files created to be used with LUKS for additional security1)
The workaround is to configure a custom action in Thunar containing the command
udisksctl loop-setup -f %f
References:
man udisksctl

In my case, the image file is on a encrypted home partition, but still encrypted (second) as it contains keys etc. I don't want to expose to the system all the time while my home partion is mounted.
