Description Andrius 2016-12-30 21:58:35 UTC
Hello, I wish there were the following options in right click menu in albums view:
 - Show file in file explorer (default file explorer for the system, e.g. windows file explorer for windows, nautilus/dolphin/epiphany for Linux distributions, etc.)
 - Open with (show current "open with" dialog for the file type)

This file (374356) looks very similar to 380329

+1 for this feature!!
Comment 4 caulier.gilles 2017-07-02 18:03:41 UTC
File/Open in file explorer is already implemented, through QDesktopService, but it sound like under Windows, the Qt wrapper do not do the job properly.

Can you confirm this ? The last build for Windows use Qt 5.9 (previous one Qt 5.7). Perhaps the situation has changed now...

In 5.7 (thanks for that) I see:
- Album -> Open in File Manager
- Item -> Open with Default Application

Two nice features but just not close enough.
What I am looking for (and I think wildcowboy too) is a feature to select an image inside a tree and then have a function to open the file manager to the location where the image is in the file system.

Example:
Tree: C:/2017/2017-01-15 Party/Received photo's/DSC_0001.jpg.
What happens is, I open the 2017 album in the main window and then scroll down until I see 'the very interesting image' DSC_0001.jpg. Then I want to see this photo in File Explorer. Thus, "C:/2017/2017-01-15 Party/Received photo's/" should be opened and ideally DSC_0001.jpg selected. This functionality is not present I think. Instead, the "Album -> Open in File Manager" functionality only opens the top level album that is being displayed in the main screen, which in this example is "C:/2017."

+1
Item (not Album) - Open in File Manager would be what I am looking for.
Comment 7 Simon 2017-08-03 12:51:18 UTC
This is a mix of two separate issues
 - Opening file explorer from item context menu, which is currently only possible in album menu (bug 360475)
 - Open with menu entry isn't available on Windows (bug 380065)

As this bug is targeted for Windows, I will mark it as a duplicate of bug 380065.
