Suggestion: Reveal In Explorer

[bflannery]

I would really love it if you guys could add “Open In Explorer” for directories, and “Reveal In Explorer” for the right click context menus of the solution explorer.

This would be great whenever entries of the project structure (in my case cmake) correspond with actual files and folders. This functionality is present in every other text editor I use. (vscode, sublime, etc)

Currently this is only available at the top level solution.

Hi,

You can actually easily do it via the editor tab context menu. Simply double-click on the file in question in Solution Explorer so that VS opens it in another tab, right-click on the tab header and select “Open Containing Folder”. It will open the file location in Explorer, and will pre-select the actual file.

Thanks! I had no idea that was there.
