From the Windows world I'm used to the fact that in the file browser (and there you can search with name:.. only on file names) you can do everything in the findings of a search that you can do in the normal file browser:
- **rename** a find (I need this more often to correct typos in file names when I come across them),
- **copy the path to a file to the clipboard** (one of the most common actions in connection with the file browser at all: If I know in which context something belongs, I look for the place where there are finds to it. Then I look in the hit list for the ones that are closest to the content I just have in mind. Since file names usually begin with YYYY-MM-DD_ (date to which the content refers - not the creation or editing date of the file) and then several sections separated by _, I add the path to a similar object in a save dialog, changing the date first and then the other categories, the file just to be saved according to its content.
As you can see, searching in directories often occurs in my way of working acquired with Windows. Things always sort themselves by date in the file browser. I find similar objects to a keyword quickly with search on the keyword or keywords and so on.
Unfortunately the combination Thunar+Catfish lacks some things for this:
- First and foremost, I lack the ability to right-click to get the **path to a found item on the clipboard** after a search.
- Then I miss the possibility to **fix a typo in a filename** ("**rename dialog**") and the possibility to cut a wrongly filed file at its wrong place and paste it to the right place.
I don't know whether this additional issue is due to Catfish or to Thunar: In order to call the search dialog, I always **have to go up one level first**, such that the directory I want to search from is highlighted: If the mouse pointer is on a file in a directory, a right-click should additionally offer: "**search in surrounding directory**".
I would also like to change the **order of the columns in the result list**: The date first (and always in ISO notation!), then the filename, then the size (the column is narrow, it always fits), then the file path (which should not stay so far to the right that the longest filename fits: It is often more important to be able to see the path (at least its beginning). Generally you should be able to configure the columns like in Thunar. It would be best to automatically use Thunar's settings.https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/catfish/-/issues/53Don't rely on Distutils for setup (Distutils to be removed in Python 3.12)2023-12-31T16:18:33ZnewhoaDon't rely on Distutils for setup (Distutils to be removed in Python 3.12)Distutils is being deprecated in Python 3.10 with it eventually being removed in Python 3.12 ([info here](https://docs.python.org/3.10/whatsnew/3.10.html#distutils-deprecated)).

I noticed that there is no way I could find to actually search for 'all files' within a certain date range.
I tried to put a wildcard in there to no avail.
I would like to be able to search all my files in linux /home/myaccount/ that were either created or modified in the last 2 or 3 days.
Thank you very much for taking my suggestion into consideration.

At present, catfish just lists the files containing matching text when searched with "Search file contents". Then when user clicks on one of the results (files), the file gets opened in text editor with cursor positioned at the beginning.
Catfish can pass the line and column number of first match to the editor so that when user clicks on the results the file gets opened with cursor positioned at first matching entry in the file.

## Description
I have a 3D modeling workflow where I re-use assets regularly. Since matching is done visually being able to look closely at previously rendered assets is required
The current image preview size is too small to be useful, as the differences in assets are too small to see in the preview image size.
It would be nice to be able to adjust the thumbnail size like in Thunar.https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/catfish/-/issues/4[LP] Search inside non-utf8 files does not work2023-06-09T10:46:01ZBugzilla Migration[LP] Search inside non-utf8 files does not work## Submitted by Sean Davis `@bluesabre`

It would be nice if the search results pane was integrated with Thunar allowing copy, cut and move.
In more detail ...
After selecting a file or directory, Ctrl+C or Ctrl+X would put the item in a paste buffer from where it could be pasted into Thunar. In the case of Ctrl+X the item would be deleted after pasting. Similarly for click and drag to move.https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/catfish/-/issues/1[LP] [Feature Request] Add Support for Tracker2023-06-09T10:46:00ZBugzilla Migration[LP] [Feature Request] Add Support for Tracker## Submitted by Sean Davis `@bluesabre`
