add 'open enclosing folder' to right click menu

I use xnView by having another program call it with the location of the file to be displayed.

I don't always know the location.

It would be great if there were a right click menu for clicking on the image to open the enclosing folder where the image is stored.

Hope this feature isn't already implemented, as just about everything else I've wanted certainly has been.

Great program!

You have 'Open containing folder' in the context menu (when right-clicking on a thumbnail in the browser).

If I have another program create an image and use xnView to open it, I don't have that thumbnail as I have it setup to just show the menus at the top and the image itself.

It would be great if the 'Open containing folder' could be added to the context menu that shows when I right click anywhere in the image?

You means context menu of the preview?

Yes. When the image displays, it would be great to be able to right click in the center of it and open the containing folder. I don't think that option is available now. Thanks!

Just double click on the picture to get the parent folder in Xnview (it doesn't open a windows explorer though)
edit : ok nevermind, it would be more logical to have an open enclosing folder there too :P
