Smile How to tweak Catfish?


Hi.

I like the program called Catfish. I notice that in .config/catfish/catfish.rc, there's these contents:

Code:
show-hidden-files=false
show-sidebar=true
A few years ago - these lines worked to add as a launcher. They no longer work.
Code:
catfish --fileman=caja --path=/home/XXX/Documents --method=find
catfish --fileman=caja --path=/home/XXX/Documents --method=locate
catfish --fileman=pcmanfm --path=/home/XXX/Documents --hidden --method=locate
Does anyone know how to make catfish always search in ~/Documents and always use locate instead of find? I'm not sure if it's using find or locate by default.

Thanks.
