Catfish 1.4.10 Released
The best Linux graphical file search utility keeps getting better! Catfish 1.4.10 features a new preferences dialog, a polished user interface, and significantly improved search results and performance.
What’s New?
New Features
- A brand new Preferences dialog. This dialog includes options for window layout, display options, custom exclude directories (new!), and an option to close Catfish after opening a file (new!).
- Custom exclude directories. Previous releases of Catfish excluded various directories (/dev, ~/.cache, ~/.gvfs) to boost performance. This latest feature customizes path exclusions so users can further speed up their searches. (Xfce #15317)
- Close after select. Frequent file searcher? This feature will let you find and open your missing file and close Catfish immediately, keeping your application list at bay. (Xfce #14888)
Bug Fixes
- The previous release, Catfish 1.4.9 meant to include fixes for path exclusions. Somehow, I forgot to include the actual fix! Path exclusions are fixed and search performance should be increased as a result. (Debian #926850)
- The results now always display icons at a consistent size. Previously, some icons were displayed much larger than others, breaking the visual flow.
Improved Application menu
In the past, clicking the application menu in Catfish meant seeing a cluttered, inconsistently spaced, and aligned popover with poorly worded options. No more!
- Better use of space, padding, and margins
- Clearer purpose labels
- Keyboard accelerators are now displayed in the menu
Search Improvements
- Symbolic links are now traversed, with actual paths only processed once
- Added search priority, surfacing more relevant results faster. Folders are now descended with the following priority, then alphabetically:
- XDG paths (Desktop, Documents, Pictures, Videos, etc)
- Visible paths
- Hidden paths
General
- Better use of alt-accelerators
- Improved installation instructions (Xfce #15105)
- Reduced warnings displayed in the terminal
- Simplified Python 2/3 compatibility code
- Various code quality fixes (pylint, flake)
Translation Updates
- Simplified welcome text. While not visually different, the 3 translatable phrases were merged into a single sentence to simplify translations. (Xfce #15596)
