OpenContainingFolder.tar.bz2 extension (2.90 KB, application/x-bzip)
2008-11-22 15:52 UTC, Maxxer 		Details

Description Tuomas Kuosmanen 2005-10-25 22:06:35 UTC 
It would be useful if we, instead of "copy image location", could just open the
file in the file manager, preferably that file hilighted (though I am not sure
if that is possible right now) - but in any case, it would be good to be able to
find the file on disk.

I think it would pretty much cover the need for "copy location" and should
replace it in the context menu..?
Comment 1 Gabriel Burt 2005-10-25 22:30:27 UTC 
Would this only work if one image was selected?  The current "Copy Image
Location" functionality works on multiple images.  If this would work on
multiple images as well, what happens when they are all in different categories?
Would it open a potentially large number of folders?

If it wasn't able to highlight the image in the folder, that could be fairly
frustrating for users in a folder with a large number of items, especially if
they have to flip back to F-Spot just to get the file name.

Marking as an enhancement.
Comment 2 Gabriel Burt 2005-12-19 02:22:13 UTC 
This could be implemented in the Open With menu suggested in bug #156506.
Comment 3 Bengt Thuree 2006-02-20 10:09:22 UTC 
Good suggestion. To clarify....

Add a Open With Nautilus (File Browser) menu to the Open With.
This should not ask to create a new version though.
And if possible, open Nautilus with the selected photos selected.

Don't know what should happend if you select say, 50, photos though.
In 30 different directories.

extension from #507429
Comment 8 Vish 2009-11-26 20:06:59 UTC 
Any reason why the above extension is not installed by default?
Or available in the official repos?
Comment 9 André Klapper 2018-07-12 00:07:57 UTC 
F-Spot has moved to https://github.com/f-spot/f-spot/issues

If this Bugzilla ticket is still valid in a recent version of F-Spot, please feel free to post this topic as a ticket in the F-Spot project on GitHub.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping as we are planning to shut down GNOME Bugzilla in favor of GNOME Gitlab.
