Wish for an item in the file tab's context menu to open the file's containing folder and locate the file.
Open the directory where?
Or do you mean open the `Open File` dialog with the directory set to that of the file, and the file itself chosen?
I understand this as opening the file manager in a way for it to display the file's containing directory and select the file. But it's indeed not entirely clear.
Note that not all file managers support showing a specific file AFAIK, IIRC Nautilus does, but Caja doesn't. No idea about Dolphin or Explorer.
Or in file browser plugin?
@elextr I meant opening the directory with the system's file manager, e.g. Explorer on Windows, Finder on MacOS etc. @b4n Automatically Locating the file may be performed only on file managers that support this, as an additional feature.
Well, "somebody" can make a pull request adding a menu item that is called "Open in file manager".
Because there are so many file managers this will also need a setting that specifies the command to run and which interpolates the path, for example at %f. If the distro does not set that to the right file manager when it packages Geany, the user will have to set it. There is no portable way Geany can find out itself AFAIK.
