This button will open an Explorer window showing the current folder. It's like the "View in IE" extension for Firefox. It can be useful to quickly compare behaviour between Opus and Explorer.
The button's command is very simple:
Explorer /e, {sourcepath$}
Here is the full button XML for pasting on to your toolbar:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<button display="both">
<label>Open in Explorer...</label>
<icon1>#find</icon1>
<function type="normal">
<instruction>cd C:\</instruction>
<instruction>Explorer /e, {sourcepath$}</instruction>
</function>
</button>
(See the sticky post at the top of this forum if you don't know how to paste the XML above.)
It'd be useful to other people if you explained what your alternative did when posting it.
Nelly's command will open Explorer and select whatever was selected in Opus. However, it only works well if you have exactly one thing selected. If you have nothing selected then it doesn't work at all -- Explorer opens but always shows Desktop -- and if you have multiple items selected then you'll see one Explorer window open with the first item selected and when you close that another Explorer window will open with the second item selected, and so on.
Hi!
Thank You both. With the leo's command I don't have to remember to select something if I want to open current folder in Explorer. No chance for mistake.
nelly's command gives two choices in one command: open current folder or open Desktop, and it highlights (first) selected item from Opus.
If you modify nelly's command like this:
@firstfileonly
"explorer.exe" /select,"%1"only one Explorer window will open regardless of how many items you have selected in Opus.
I don't know how many command versions are there to open current folder in Windows (I don't understand codes; just see its effects) but here's another one:
Explorer /e ,. (In my case) it opens Explorer window with tree pane, but if I replace /e with /n it opens without tree pane.
