Feature request: custom commands on .. just run in the current directory #19

Closed idanarye closed 5 years ago

idanarye commented 5 years ago

Currently highlighting .. and hitting Shift+Return will prompt a custom command selection - for the parent directory. While this behavior is consistent and technically correct, it is not very useful as users entering a directory are not interested in running commands on the parent directory.

I think it'll be better if running custom commands on .. will run them on the current directory - or at least run them in the current directory without arguments.

I added the option -file-browser-open-parent-as-self to do this. I don't think it makes sense to make this the default behaviour, because, as you said, treating it as .. is consistent.
