Idea: Opening the folder holding a linked file

Hi Nikos,

If I use file links as bookmarks then I could have two reasons for clicking on a particular link. One would be to open the file from a convenient location remote from the source location for the file. The other would be to jump to that file to act on it in some other way eg. copy it or copy it's full file name/path.

At present if I click on a *file* link (ie. not a folder link) the file is opened if the computer is able to associate the file with a program.

There appears to be no way that I can make 2xExplorer jump to the folder holding the linked file and open that folder at the specified file. Is there any chance you could add this capability to Xplorer2??

Cheers, Philip

what you're looking for is already present in 2x, in the Edit | Find target menu, shortcut Ctrl+L

You're a marvel. And once again I should redouble my efforts to learn the finer nuances of the program and not waste your time!

Thanks.
