Bug Description

I just did a Catfish search, and it found the two files for which I was looking (one a copy of the other, in a different location).
I opened the context menu, to see what it contained.
I saw "Show in File Manager"
Since I do not use the default File Manager for Lubuntu (PCManFM[-qt]), but use Nemo instead, I thought it would be interesting to see which FM would come up, if I selected "Show in ...".

I did so, and Nemo came up, but the directory it was trying to show was Trash, not the directory in which the files were.

I tried the same thing from the other file, and the same thing happened.

I also tried "Copy Location", and when I pasted that somewhere, it was correct.
