[Solved] Catfish in Thunar?

What would be the correct syntax to execute catfish from within Thunar by activating the context menu?

If i simply put catfish in the "Start a program" it's executed. Putting /usr/bin/catfish %f in the cmd line in User defined Actions > Add > . . . nothing happens at all. On a right mouseclick shows up only the preconfigured example (Open a Terminal here). What am i doing wrong?

TIA

Greetings:
In particular do not use catfish. To search for Thunar using a script as described in this post

It's in Spanish, but I think it is difficult to understand.

I did, but it seems to not appear (?) And, how would i have to set exactly the cmd syntax in the custom actions, to get catfish (or whatelse) to search from the point where i'm actually in Thunar?

EDIT: SOLVED!

I forgot to mark correctely directories. And here i found the correct syntax - and some nice other custom actions.

Yes, we had problems with DNS, but it must be working perfectly. : D

Yes. I saw your script: nice! But nevertheless, just a question: Why you're advising to not use catfish?
