0.84: UI: One menu item for opening containing folder

Post by helmut »

In XnView Browser, when right clicking on an image the context menu appears. Amongst many other menu items, there are the two menu items:
Open in file explorer
Open containing folder

The two menu items do the same thing: Start the file explorer which contains the selected item. Only difference is that "Open containing folder" is avaiable for items displayed in a search, only, while "Open in folder" is available for the "real" files, only. From what I can see this differentiation is not needed; it will never happen that both items are enabled at the same time.

Suggestion:
Combine these two menu items into one. For naming I'd suggest "Open containing folder".

It's not the same, "Open in file explorer" open the windows explorer and "Open containing folder" open the browser in the folder of the file

Ah, I understand. Thank you for the explanation.
