Add option to file view to Open Containing Folder

[sonyisda1]

I have found many editors (Visual Studio and NotePad++ to name some examples) support opening the containing folder of a file. It would be nice if BC could do this to.

It could be placed in the existing open menu that is on the right side of the file path.

Open containing folder as a built in command is on our feature request list. However, you define an "Open With" command to open containing folder in Explorer.

In Beyond Compare, select Tools > Options from the menu.
Go to Open With.
Click +.
Description: Open in Explorer
Command line: explorer /n,/e,/select,%f
Check: Accepts files, Accepts folders, Multiple instances.

After you've configured the above command, right click in the left or right pane of the Text Compare and select Open With > Open in Explorer. You can also right click on a file or folder in the Folder Compare and use the same command.
