Feature Request: Open in Folder/finder

[rainbowjaw]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. From the LBRY app there is a button to open the file, but this only allows opening in associated default app for the file type. Much of the time I wish to see the file, it is not to open, but to move/copy the file to another location, look at the file info, etc.

Describe the solution you'd like Replace open file with open in location, OR add a separate button to open in location.

Describe alternatives you've considered Add a separate button which goes to the downloads folder easily accessible from any where interacting with LBRY content.

This is a good idea.

Working on this! So it seems there is code already in modalOpenExternalResource that opens in folder if a path is passed in & opens in the default app if a URI is passed in. Should we keep this behavior, but add an option in the dropdown that says "Open in Folder"?

I'm not sure it needs a dropdown. The open button leads to a modal now. Primary button is Continue, Secondary button is Cancel.

It could be Open File, Open Folder, Cancel

@rahulrajus Is this still something you're doing?
