Thunar search doesn't work

[ghost]

Search for files and folders doesn't work, despite there is an entry on the context menu.

The solution should be install the catfish package

Added testing needed label

hello everybody!
catfish is good. it can use different search engines you have installed like locate and find.

catfish does not work, I can't understand why it relies on .pyc being available: seems like a bug in the package. Running it from terminal does not work, nor does it work from the menu or by right-click in thunar. Changing directory to /usr/share/catfish THEN running catfish will work.

It's so buggy I cannot believe it.

[AreYouLoco]

if you change /usr/bin/catfish to:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
python /usr/share/catfish/catfish.py "$@"

it should work. definitely bug in package.

the bug on bugs.debian.org:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=746251

The bug should be fixed:
Date: Fri, 02 May 2014 16:20:45 +0200
with the release 0.3.2-2+deb7u1.1

But it is not yet in the stable repo

[Granet]

The command: "Find in this directory" dosen't works because it uses as command: catfish --path=%f
but catfish on freepto it didn't installed.

The solution complete is:

1. open terminal and type this:
   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:catfish-search/catfish-stable
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install catfish

2. Open Thunar (as administrator or root) and open file catfish ( /usr/bin/catfish ) and change:
   %python% /usr/share/catfish/bin/catfish.py "$@"
   to:
   python /usr/share/catfish/catfish.py "$@"
   Save file.
   Now Catfish works and command "Find in this directory" also works!

The package was fixed for the stable, although the package is not already available from the official repository

I think we should avoid as far as possible 3th party repository.

In the meantime, we could test it from here:
http://pkgs.org/debian-wheezy/debian-proposed-updates-main-i386/catfish_0.3.2-2+deb7u1.1_all.deb.html

or through adding the following repository:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-proposed-updates main

[AreYouLoco]

yup 3th party repository is a big security risk

[ghost]

Patched package added in the berenjena's repository.
In the meantime this fix the issue, we will remove that package as soon as it becomes available on the official debian repository.

I have installed the new package on a dev freepto img and it works fine.
