Suggestion regarding the "Find in this folder"-custom action to improve
UX for the thunar package.

Current situation
==================
"Find in this folder" will trigger `catfish --path=%f`. That means: "open 
catfish on the currently selected path, where "currently selected path" means 
either of the two:
1. If there is folder selected, open the path to inside that folder
2. If there is nothing selected, open the path to the currently open folder

Suggested behavior:
====================
Change command to `catfish --path=%d` (open catfish with the path of the 
currently viewed (open) folder)

Reason:
=======
1. I would say this is the expected behaviour for the general user. 
2. The perception of "this" in "Find in this folder" seems to be stronger 
towards the currently viewed folder than the currently selected folder.
