USE THE SEARCH TO FIND SIMILAR FEATURE REQUEST! If none found, please fill
this form:

Provide a brief summary of the the feature you'd like to see implemented.

In any of the UI panels that display a torrent I can right click
and a context menu with options "Start, Pause ...CSV Info"
show up..
Similar UI that show a link to a app data have link that says
"Open Containing Folder", this will then load the O/S
File Browse in the directory where that app data is located
A good example of this interface is FireFox dowload menu
see Tools-Downloads then right click a download file
you will see the options "Open Containing Folder"

Provide any additional information which might be useful here.
This makes it easy to find a torrent after the download so you can post
process eg unrar, unzip, consolidate  etc

I guess I dont understand this comment  in dot net it should be a simple as
System.IO.File.Exists("unc same path that down load are pted to")
Just like FF-Tools-Download-"Open Containing Folder"

Did you try the "open samba share" menu?

Just wanted to make sure the right ans is here in the archive
This feature exists I just did not realize it at the time I posted
From the main UI
select Options-Local Settings-Server Settings Tab
Now left click on the server to select HiLite that server
select the Samba Sub Tab
In the New Mapping Frame
Unix Path Prefix
-enter the full absolute path to the your torrent download directory
 eg on a dns23 it might be /mnr/HD_a2/torrentdownloads
-enter the your windows samba path to that same directory
eg on a dns32 it might be //Dlink-as23/Volume_1/torrentdownloads
now click Add
Then click save & ans yes to the chnage server setting dialog

Now right click on any torrent down load in the UI
you will see a new right click context menu option called "Open on Network 
Share"
select that option wam bam than yo maam you on the containing folder ...

Now if an dev reads this
1) it should verify that the samaba path is correct & not allow a save if the 
samaba
path is invalid in the  Options-Local Settings-Server Settings Tab Save dialog

2)the right click menu option might use the more standard term
"Open Containing Folder" rather than the term
"Open on Network Share"

1) is't hard to verify the samba path: if server is not responding File.Exists 
will freeze the gui.

2) there are 2 menu items: "Open on Network Share" and "Open Folder on Network 
Share". The first open torrent, the secord open the containing folder.
