Description ajasja 2007-12-17 15:23:13 UTC 
Sometimes I still have to do some task from a file manager (for example rename files when I would also like to change
the extension).
So it would be really great if I could just right click on an item in the project (and/or files) view and click on an
"Open  file manager here" action, which would open a new file manager window at the right path (on windows - windows
explorer:)

Comment 2 ajasja 2007-12-19 13:22:33 UTC 
I found a plugin (Explore from here http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/PluginDetailPage.jsp?pluginid=15)
that does exactly what I wanted.
There's also another plugin (Path tools
http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/PluginDetailPage.jsp?pluginid=676) that adds support for copying a path
to clipoard and "Explore path" and "Shell on path" actions, but unfortunately it does not have a context menu. 

So I guess this issue is invalid or something?
Comment 3 Martin Krauskopf 2008-02-21 11:04:05 UTC 
Yes, you are right. This is general RFE, not Ruby specific. Could you contact or file an issue for the authors of the
plugins you mentioned.
Comment 4 Martin Krauskopf 2008-02-21 11:08:21 UTC 
Or actually 'won't fix' specifically in Ruby. Probably better to pass this to the general IDE, since I'm not sure
whether this is not a planned feature.
Comment 5 Jana Maleckova 2008-09-10 16:27:50 UTC 
reassign to plugins module for evaluation
Comment 6 Jiri Kovalsky 2008-09-10 16:45:50 UTC 
Sandip, any plans to implement the context sensitive menu actions?
Comment 7 _ sandipchitale 2008-09-10 17:29:04 UTC 
I have added the actions to the popup menu some time ago. Get the latest version.
