openMake "Open Containing Folder" in gamelist context menu select the file in file browser
0%
Description
On Windows 10 :
- Right click to a game, open the file emplacement
- New folder opened but the game ain't selected at all
Maybe it's an internal w10 bug or an inexistant feature, no idea...

Are you talking about
Right click on game > Open Containing Folder?

Yes, but i'm using the french translation and it's written "Ouvrir l'emplacement du fichier", i'm more supposed to get the folder and the file selected then. The confusion comes from here.

Alright, then that is intentional. I'm not sure if this is more of a translation issue or a feature request but I don't think it's a bad idea to make dolphin launch the file browser and select the folder.
Making it do so cross platform may be the difficult part. I don't know if Wx can do that.

wx seems to use xdg-open
which usually fails on iso files as it's trying to find the default app for them if you provide a full path. If you provide just the path to the directory, it just launches the default file explorer so that's why it's working properly right now.
tl;dr: wx doesn't really allow us to do this, so if we really want this feature, we'd have to write our own way to handle things

On Windows, the way to go would be calling explorer.exe directly with the /select switch:
explorer.exe /select,"D:\Dolphin\Games\GZ2P01_Zelda_TP.gcm"
However, since we're simply using WX' functionality here, it would mean we'd have to create platform specific code for all platforms that support such a feature.

- Easy changed from Yes to No
Qt lacks this functionality so we would need to handle each OS (and each file browser on Linux) separately.
