Deleting from search results

[Kev Bowring]

When searching for files with Catfish, possibility exists that the search is for files to delete.

While it is possible to delete files from within the results, it can only be done singly, not able to select multiple files either with keyboard nor mousepad.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

The same issue affecte me as well. Can only delete file one at a time not as a group.

[Kev Bowring (flocculant)]

It will - that's how it works. This is a 'usability' bug. Possibly end up marked Wishlist.

Thanks for the bug report. I think this once worked with a selection of multiple files, so this is either a regression or incomplete feature. I'll work on adding this in the next release.
