Thanks. I am already aware of Krusader (use it on a regular basis) but
the best I can get out of it are the filenames. I am looking for
something like this sequence:

  * Right-click on a directory. Select Search.
  * Enter search criteria.
  * Select files in resulting list based on a secondary criteria.
  * Perform file IO operation on selected files (move, delete). If its
a move operation then drag the selected files into the target
directory.

ciao!
