Description: Often a user would like to see what other files are near the document they're editing. Going to a "File->Open Document Parent Folder" menu option would display a Windows Explorer window (for Windows) or a File Manager window (for Linux), or a Finder window (for Mac),etc. showing all the files in the same folder as the document. If the document has not been saved yet, because it's new, the "File->Open Document Parent Folder" menu item should be grayed out. It could be implemented in all LibreOffice applications for consistency and usability. Actual Results: Currently no menu item exists for this feature Expected Results: After you choose the menu item "File->Open Document Parent Folder" the users' system file browser window would appear at the documents' root folder. Then the user can go about doing whatever they needed to do. ex. if the document is saved as "C:\My Documents\Resume\My Resume.doc", the file browser window would be opened to "C:\My Documents\Resume" Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: no other information
Don't think it needs in office suite, so -1 from my side Let's ask other people too
-1 Details best left to os/DE designers. Little to be gained implementing it directly from the LO UI where likely only users choosing the optional Tools -> Options -> General 'Use LibreOffice Dialogs' checkbox would benefit.
Ok, thanks for taking a look at least. I was thinking it would be as simple as using a cross platform command like that of Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo(your_path) { UseShellExecute = true }) in c#. In windows, I often do implement Process.Start("explorer.exe" , @"your_file_path") to drop the user off somewhere, and get good feedback on it's availability and usage. However, I think it would be super helpful in LO as well, but agreed unless more people chime in, maybe I'm the minority of people who'd use that feature in LO.
