[Feature Request] Search results pane: copy, cut and move Thunar integration

[Charles Atkinson]

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.

I wouldn't say that this is related to thunar at all, but basically it means implementing drag-and-drop support into catfish and adding kb-shortcuts for what already exists in the context menu.
I second this feature request though, would make sense to me!

I'll look into possibly including this (at least on Catfish's side) in the next release.

It would be nice to have an option to have the Advance filtering Option" screen be the default screen on open. You should also be able to default what file type the default is. I use it to search for video's and mp3's and having to constantly put a check-mark for file type, is a pain.

I think a having the ability to select all or part of the resulting search and copy, cut or move would really make catfish extremely useful tool. See Search Everything from http://www.voidtools.com/ is and ideal tool for windows. Catfish is coming close but is missing copy/cut/move option.

Cut, Copy, and Move cannot be added at this time. There is a bug that has been fixed in upstream python-gobject that has not made it to the repos, even in 13.04.

Until the API allows for Gtk.Clipboard.set_with_data, this cannot be done.
