Add "show in folder" for opening arbitrary files

Open EmmanuelMess opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

Any file opened by the user should have an option to open in amaze with "show in folder".

This should open Amaze, navigate to the folder, scroll down and briefly highlight the file.

I am interested in implementing this :)

I have looked around a bit and found PR #3305 which seems to be related to this issue. However, when I try to open a file, AFM is not an option, so I assume that PR #3305 has not fixed this issue? @VishnuSanal, are my assumptions correct?

@seelchen well, #3305 was kinda like an easter-egg feature for people using AFU to quickly locate a file; but that seems missing now from AFU! (ping @VishalNehra).

and, this issue is just doing #3305 for all files, but I wonder how would you fetch the path? 🤔

It's not missing. It's working with utilities app. It should ideally work with all the files.

My plan is to add an intent-filter for ACTION_VIEW with "file" as scheme. I have to test a bit, but I can't imagine that an intent to view a file is sent out without the concrete path to that file :thinking:
