Open Folder on Success #14

Closed cassidyjames closed 6 years ago

cassidyjames commented 6 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It's kind of confusing after creating a template project; it's not clear anything happened since it's so fast and I'm taken back to the welcome screen.

Describe the solution you'd like

The project folder could open, either in the file manager or in the code editor.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I thought about a success dialog or notification or something, but I don't think that's as useful as actually taking me to the files so I can start my work.

Additional context

I'm not sure whether opening a file manager or code editor is better, but whichever is used it should probably use the system default instead of hardcoding any specific app.

At this moment the app will open the directory with the file manager. In future, a treeview will be displayed with capabilities like visual studio (create new classes with the namespace reflecting the dir-tree, adding files to compilation files list and more)
