Good to hear.

> What do You think about if we place it next to Application Finder with a separator below them (in Main menu>Accessories) ? It's a little highlight from the crowd and helps to find it a bit more easily. If there will be some improvements on Catfish in 12.10, this would be a good reason to do this, and both of them perform some kind of search, so they are a bit similar in some ways.

Yeah, I think we can do that.

I know there are different themes, but if the default theme is dark, maybe this should be considered. Could its icon be light or contoured with light at least?

I agree. I don't have a totally great idea as to how to fix this (yet), but I'll try to keep it in mind.

> We've talked about the accessibility already. If Thunar could not contains a launcher, could we place Catfish File Search on the bottom shortcut pane by default? Next to Application Finder (as in Accessories)? I really think it's a bit hard to find for a beginner...

Yes, I think we can do that.

All the best,
