Hello,

when I right-click on a tab in PB, is it possible to add an 'Open Directory in explorer' or equivalent feature ?

Arnaud

You can add a tool:
explorer.exe
Select,"%FILE"

Thank you for the tips.
For me it is a workaround, not a feature.

I have this feature in my custom IDE build on Windows:


But I have not submitted it, because I know the team wants submissions implemented and tested on all the OS.

Kenmo, can your custom tweak be added to the official IDE somehow?

You can also add a button to the toolbar. Maybe you don't know that.

I didn't know you could add tools as buttons on the toolbar! Thanks for telling us.

This functionality is actually already implemented for each platform (see here for Windows): https://github.com/fantaisie-software/p ... ns.pb#L379

So all you need is to add the menu entry to submit a PR.

@freak OK, I looked back at how I added it. (This was apparently Oct 2020! Time flies!)

The main difference is I wanted the specific file to be auto-selected in the explorer. So I added ShowExplorerFile() like ShowExplorerFolder().
For Windows and Mac, I have simple working functions from the forums.
For Linux (I guess this is the only problem) it falls back to ShowExplorerFolder(GetPathPart(File)) because I don't know how to jump to a specific file.

It looks like it would merge into devel OK, I will submit a PR for people to pull and test.

I've submitted PR #205 for review
(or anybody can pull in my show-in-folder git branch)

Not sure how long this has been in the ide, but it was always one of my wants... so just a thanks to all involved in implementing
