Add menu options to reveal movie in finder and delete it #38

For massive processing of video files I would find it very convenient to reveal the file being played right now in Finder (not sure if this is already implemented, have not found it on the menus) and another keyboard combo (Cmd+Backspace) to move the file to the recycle bin. Since the deletion might be bad, it would be good if it was disabled by default and it would first pop up a warning telling the user to actually enable this in the preferences window.

Extra points if there is any way I can hook applescripts or any external programs to be invoked with the currently selected file (maybe this already exists, so I could implement these features externally?).

"Reveal in Finder" would be a great addition and I can't believe it wasn't there already.

I think your idea of making the current file available to scripts is a better way to handle delete since Movist is primarily a player. But, it's not a bad idea either and it seems like you're already on the case.

The changes work really nice, it's so much faster for me to sweep through a folder of video files. Still, when I changed the menus to include the options I only did the English ones as I have no experience with translations. Should entries in english be added to all of the menus and then wait for somebody to translate them?

Adding them in English is probably best that way at least the other languages don't miss out on the feature and it makes it easier for a translator to fix it.
