Add a menu item that will open the config directory in the file explorer of your system :-)

See discussion #262

Any chance you could add a check-box to the Preferences :: Save Defaults dialog for "Don't show this again" at the same time as adding this menu? I'd rather not have to dismiss that dialog every time I save, and the only purpose for it seems to be to tell me where my config files are stored, which this menu will do anyway.

Once that box has been checked the ellipsis should probably get removed from the "Save Defaults ..." menu text too (just to complicate the code slightly, but you did admit you're a perfectionist... 😉 ).

@anjohnson that's probably a good idea.

Interesting that you caught the subtle meaning of the ... in NEdit menus as meaning "will pop up a dialog", that is indeed what that tends to mean ;-)

@eteran in the interest of getting 6.0 out a.s.a.p, perhaps we should stage this PR for 6.1? This will give us more time to work out the best implementation. And you can focus on the milestones :-)

@tksoh yea, I haven't merged this yet, mostly because it's low priority for 6.0. I don't think we need to "do" anything special as once we tag 6.0, i can just merge this master into this branch to bring it up to speed and basically make it the first feature added to the 6.1 development
