Description dacoex 2020-08-18 22:01:19 UTC

a direct button for opening a location of a file would be great.

This is especially useful if one does not remember where the last file(s) were stored but can find them through function:
File --> Recent Document

Thus, the following enhancement is proposed:

Add a hyperlink to the "location" item in the files properties.

Access:

File --> Properties

Location should be a hyperlink opening the folder of the very file with system file browser.


Thanks for considering.

BTW, the recent documents could be enhanced by adding a search function like item C here:

Sure, why not. Submitted a patch that opens the file browser in case of a local file it but the internet browser for remote content (shown as http://...). Makes not much sense for WebDav though.

Many thanks for implementing this!

I was not expecting this and already started to consider building an addon ;-)
