To Brian:
It's not Xubuntu's developers business: Yes, You're right - I've always guessed 
it. I'm going to try to reach some guys at Xfce or at Xubuntu who knows them 
and can help. It will be a bit hard, cause Xfce Desktop team and Thunar 
developers are not the same (I'm not sure) and my proposal affects both of them.

To Michele Mor:
Michele, if You click on 'Type' in the header of Thunar, it lists the files by 
type OR if You select Edit>Select by pattern and insert *.mp3 into the input 
field, Thunar will select all the mp3s automatically. I do not think Windows or 
MacOS can do more for You.

Otherwise we must see to integrate Catfish into Thunar is not a 5 minutes work 
(furthermore Joshua wrote Thunar needs to be kept fairly lightweight and I 
agree with him), so finally I've changed my mind and therefore I suggest keep 
Catfish standalone, move forward with small steps, do some things for let the 
search function is more easy to find for beginners also.

Sincerely, Imre

Re: IDEA: Integrate C­atfish into Thunar

hey guys & gals,
 
 xubuntu uses the open source thunar file manager, and catfish file
 search app, but xubuntu team is not the developer of either.
 
 I believe such a thunar feature request would have to go through the
 applications actual development team: http://thunar.xfce.org/
