<p>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.</p>

<ul></ul><p>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.</p>
<p>Making it do so cross platform may be the difficult part. I don't know if Wx can do that.</p>

<p>wx seems to use <code>xdg-open</code> 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.</p>
<p>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</p>

<ul></ul><p>On Windows, the way to go would be calling explorer.exe directly with the /select switch:</p>
<pre><code>explorer.exe /select,"D:\Dolphin\Games\GZ2P01_Zelda_TP.gcm"
</code></pre>
<p>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.</p>

<ul><li><strong>Easy</strong> changed from <i>Yes</i> to <i>No</i></li></ul><p>Qt lacks this functionality so we would need to handle each OS (and each file browser on Linux) separately.</p>
