IDE: Right click on tab -> Open Containing Folder

Hello,
almost every serious IDE offers the possibility to right-click on a tab to open the location of the corresponding file in the file manager.
It would be really very nice if PureBasic could do that too. The implementation would not be very complicated in my opinion.
Thanks in advance & Greetings ... Peter

yeah very usefull
i use the following "trick" for years
create a bat file with command-> @start %1
then go to tools->configure tools select this batch as "the tool" and %PATH as the argument
it will do the job

We PureBasic programmers know how to help ourselves. This is my "trick":
But after 16 years I would like to have it natively as right click on a tab.

I thought I had an implementation for both Windows and Mac, but I just found this procedure and it's only Windows. Maybe I have Mac elsewhere.
There should be Mac and Linux versions of this on the forum, most likely!
Code: Select all
Procedure.i ShowInFolder(File.s)
; Folders also accepted
If (File)
CompilerIf (#PB_Compiler_OS = #PB_OS_Windows)
ProcedureReturn (Bool(RunProgram("explorer.exe", "/select," + #DQUOTE$ + File + #DQUOTE$, "")))
CompilerElseIf (#PB_Compiler_OS = #PB_OS_MacOS)
;
CompilerElseIf (#PB_Compiler_OS = #PB_OS_Linux)
;
CompilerEndIf
EndIf
ProcedureReturn (#False)
EndProcedure
