As an aside, the terminology that most OS X apps have settled on for this 
feature is either "Reveal in Finder" or "Show in Finder", rather than "Open in 
Finder" (Finder being the Mac's file manager). I guess those verbs make it 
sound more like a temporary diversion from the main task at hand, which is 
probably appropriate.
