Delete Branch "Harley/blender:RecentOpenExternal"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Add an item to the context menu when right-clicking on an item in the
"Open Recent" file list for "Open File Location" that opens that
location in an OS Explorer/Finder window.
neat
how about go with the super popular "open file location" instead of just "open folder"?
sounds more clear imho
Doesn't this assume that any "filepath" property on an operator has a string type?
That seems reasonable I guess, but I'd just make sure it doesn't crash if that's not the case.

PointerRNA props_ptr;
char dir[FILE_MAXDIR];
char file[FILE_MAXFILE];
BLI_path_split_dir_file(filepath, dir, sizeof(dir), file, sizeof(file));
How about
BLI_path_split_dir_part
if this doesn't usefile
anyway?Good point! I updated it to make sure it is a string property and subtype of PROP_FILEPATH, as that is all that is needed for this.
@blender-bot build
Very handy...
I don't if it's already the case, but if the file showed up selected in the explorer/finder, it would be a nice touch...
+1
@TheRedWaxPolice just tested the feature, and no, the file doesn't show up selected
Ah, too bad...
Thanks for the info..
I hope it can be added in the future...
For sure. That wouldn't be impossible, but we'd have to make something new rather than use
WM_OT_path_open
which I think is just using python to literally open the folder. If we made something for this purpose we'd have to make sure it worked for all platforms - on Windows I can definitely open a folder with a file selected but not sure about other OSs.It can't hurt, right? I mean, it wouldn't be the first time that a specific platform gets a feature first than the others...
I agree. We have a few places where this could come in handy. Just needs new operator for "open file location". Let me give it a think.
