Description MarkW 2023-12-18 05:43:49 UTC 
SUMMARY
This is a feature request to enable opening the actual location of a file listed in the `Recent` section of Dolphin browser. I often need this as other files in the same directory need to be accessed quickly, or the file itself may need to be modified (e.g. renamed, moved, etc.)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin, select "recent files"
2. Right click on a recent file
3. Look for an `open file location` option.

OBSERVED RESULT
No option listed for opening the file's location.

EXPECTED RESULT
An option for opening the location of the file in a new tab or window.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.27.10
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.112.0
Qt Version: 5.15.11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
At the moment, the only workaround I can find is to select "Copy location" from the context menu in recent files, open a new tab/window, paste this into the location area and delete the file name. This opens the directory, but does not select the file in that directory.

It looks like this has been implemented as of Dolphin 24.08.3. In Recent Files, if I right click a file, one of the options is "open path". Clicking this opens the directory where the file is. There are also options to open path in a new tab or window.
