Can I "open with" on Catfish gui search results? Yes: see AUR packages

Question

EDIT March 2, 2014: I have answered my own question below by uploading 4 packages to AUR. Reading through this thread will help to understand what they're for. Here are the 4 packages:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gmv/
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnom … -nautilus/
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nautilus-data/
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/open_choose/
Briefly, open_choose gives you the "open with" on Catfish, gmv gives you the ability to rename (and move) files in catfish, gnome-search-tool-no-nautilus is an alternative to catfish that works without installing nautilus because it installs nautilus-data instead, and so doesn't need gnome-desktop either.
ORIGINAL QUESTION
I have created a Thunar custom action to search folders using Catfish, but I rarely use it because I usually need to "open with" one of the results with something other than the default application.
Here is the custom action:
Name: Search
Description: Find files or folders
Command: catfish --fileman=thunar --path=%f
Appears if selection contains: Directories
I can search the folder currently displayed in Thunar by right-clicking an empty space between icons, or I can search one of the sub-folders by right-clicking that sub-folder. That works great, but once I have the results, all I can do is open one of the files with the default application. Can I get an "open with" option on the right-click context menu in Catfish search results?
I just realized that I also want to be able to rename files from the results as well. If Catfish doesn't do this stuff, is there another gui linux application that does?

Answer 1

Here is another script I wrote to add the ability to rename or move files in gnome-search-tool (and also any file manager) using the mv command in a dialog. It also gives you a way to copy the file location as you can with catfish. It needs to be used along with the .desktop file listed after the script below. If you use the wrapper script for catfish above, catfish will also be able to use this script because it's .desktop file will be listed as an option for any file.
In addition to putting the script and desktop files in the correct locations, you will have to update the mime cache with the commands I list at the end of this post.
*You will need to install yad available in AUR*.
I tried to do it with zenity, but zenity didn't document any way to put default values into a form, so I went with yad instead.
Here's the script:
/usr/local/bin/gmv
#!/bin/bash
filename=$(basename "$1")
path="${1%$filename}"
new_filename_form=`yad --form \
--title="$filename" \
--separator="," \
--field="Original path/filename:" \
--field="New Path:" \
--field="New Filename:" \
"$1" "$path" "$filename"`
new_path="$(awk -F, '{print $2}' <<<"$new_filename_form")"
if [ "$new_path" ] ; then
i=$((${#new_path}-1))
if [ "${new_path:$i:1}" != "/" ]; then
new_path="$new_path""/"
fi
new_filename="$(awk -F, '{print $3}' <<<"$new_filename_form")"
mv_to="$new_path$new_filename"
if [ "$mv_to" ] && [ "$mv_to" != "$1" ]; then
mv_error=`mv "$1" "$mv_to" 2>&1`
if [ "$mv_error" ]; then
yad --error --text="$mv_error"
fi
fi
fi
Here's the .desktop file:
/usr/share/applications/gmv.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Move or Rename
Comment=Use the "mv" bash command on a file or folder
GenericName=GUI for 'mv'

The last line of this .desktop file is MimeType=... and it goes on to list thousands of mimetypes. I tried to include anything that might come up on a linux machine by googling for it and looking at the mimetypes on my own machine. I'm sure I missed some, but anyway, the point of having all these mimetypes is to make "Move or Rename" show up on the "open with" menu of any file manager or in my "open_choose" script.
Which .desktop files can open what mimetypes is stored in /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache. That's where my open_choose script looks for that information and it seems to be where gnome-search-tool and Thunar look as well.
In order to update /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache. with all those mimetypes the gvm.desktop can open, you need to run the following two commands:
sudo update-desktop-database
sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
The first mimetype I list in gmv.desktop is inode/directory. This makes the command available for directories in my open_choose script, but not in Thunar because Thunar won't provide an open with dialog for directories. And, unfortunately, gnome-search-tool doesn't provide an open with dialog for directories either and it will default to gvm.desktop if you leave inode/directory as a mimetype for gvm.desktop to handle. That means gnome-search-tool can't open directories with Thunar. So, if you are using gnome-search-tool, you might want to remove inode/directory from the mimetypes gvm.desktop can handle. Don't forget that any change to a desktop file needs to be followed by the two update commands listed above before the mimetypes will be updated.
