Launcher Request - Open File Location on Context Menu

Post by Greendogo »

Hey guys. I was wondering if you could you add the ability to "Open File Location" to the right-click menu for the ESPs and ESMs in the Launcher? (image: here's the menu I'm referring to)

For people with a heavily modded game, this would add a very quick way to open to that location and center right on the plugin in question so they can fiddle with it. It would have to be cross-platform, I know. But I know you guys can do it! :D

Unsure about this one. Not sure, if we can do "open file location" in a portable way (Qt?) and I would prefer to avoid more platform specific #if orgies, unless they are absolutely necessary. Also, users should not need to fiddle around with files, at least once we are done with all the refinements and improvements regarding file formats and packaging. For most data folders the user won't have write access anyway. Maybe it would be better to consider a single "Open User Location" button for --data-local (both in the launcher and the editor).
