GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 544136
Right click menu enhancements
Last modified: 2019-02-23 02:43:27 UTC
The gnome-search-tool search results are not consistent with other file navigation tools in Gnome. For instance, when right-clicking search results, a user is only given four options: Open, Open Folder, Move To Trash, and Save Results As.

I have the patch to add "open with". Other file operations are dependent on: Bug 498506 – Add dbus interface for common file operations
The "open with" patch was applied on 3/16/09 to version 2.27.1.

+1 Being able to cut, copy, and send to... (amongst others) would make it easy to do things like search for new songs and copy them to removable media.
gnome-search-tool is not under active development anymore. Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gnome-search-tool/commits/master Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather reactivate the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
