Description Savvas Radević 2010-06-29 11:54:48 UTC 
This enhancement is proposed for "File properties dialog" and "File search interface".

* Windows explorer has a nice feature in my opinion, which allows to open the parent folder of a file/folder/link destination. It's located as a button in the  right-click -> Properties dialog.

* Also, while searching (and while browsing), it would be great to have the option "Open file/folder location" and highlight/select the file/folder.

* Finally, when opening a link, it would follow the actual file/folder it links to, open its parent folder and highlight/select the file/folder target.

Just to mention that there is a nautilus script that "scratches the itch", but can't highlight/select the file/folder: http://pastebin.ubuntu-gr.org/f2c631a90

This bug could be considered a duplicate of: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622789
..or vice versa, whichever the devs prefer. We ask the same thing actually, but
I didn't know that xenos.d filed the bug. Sorry for the duplicate :)
