[Feature request] Open file location/containing folder from the GUI #1293

Closed AndroYD84 closed 2 weeks ago

AndroYD84 commented 3 weeks ago

Feature Description Currently, the GUI lacks a direct option to access the file location/containing folder or copy the file path to clipboard from the results, this would eliminate the need to manually open the OS file explorer and navigate to said path when further investigation is required (ie. checking if something is safe to delete), improving the overall usability. Thank you for your kind attention to this matter.

• I'm sure you can open the file location by Double Right Click. However it will not highlight the file for you which is sad, specially if you have hundreds of photos in same folder.

• Copy file path!! I don't think there is a way currently, as far as i know.

It's actually mentioned here, I feel stupid for not seeing it. https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka/blob/master/instructions/Instruction.md#openingmanipulating-files Although not very intuitive, no software behaves like that in my experience, it's usually a drop down menu, a clickable folder icon, a url like link, etc.

This would be really useful, especially for referencing a regex rule, a small icon with the "copy" icon (similar to ⎘)
