If you want to pursue this change here instead, then please include the removal of the macOS action and the new shortcut. These actions might need to work with a set of `FileObject` instead of `File`. I've just realised something I'd missed in the finder action - it tests if the file is in an archive and opens the location of the archive file instead. That needs to be replicated too. > But I haven't tested on more mainstream linux distros like ubuntu yet. Not that I can tell from testing this already. And it doesn't look like it's in the Wayland support either. Calling an external process might be the only way to achieve this. Workarounds listed elsewhere include `explorer.exe /SELECT` for Windows. On Linux, there doesn't seem to be anything in xdg-tools that will do this, or in xdg portals. Which leaves maybe dbus. > I think it fits well into the category of open actions, one opens the path using a OS tool, the other using NB. I'm partly concerned about bypassing the existing open support, and I also think that it makes sense for folders and archives to have an `Open in New Tab` at the top of the menu similar to other files, and project folders. I realise that is slightly different to what you're proposing, just think it's more obvious what it is and where to find it. Can we split the two changes for now? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
