Description ballbreaker 2010-06-04 14:07:12 UTC 
Open in system works fine for selected file in the projects window, but if I try to execute it on a folder nothing happens. I expect folder will be opened in explorer. A shortcut assigned to execute "open in system" operation is Alt+Shift+S, but I think it doesn't matter.

A context menu entry would be nice, too.
Comment 2 Jaroslav Tulach 2010-10-01 21:06:45 UTC 
I don't think we know how to open folders. Anyway this is a missing functionality request, not a bug. Also until there is someone willing to implement the functionality, I am closing as won'tfix. If you can submit a patch, reopen.

Jaroslav,
This functionality was available in NetBeans 6.8. Why it is missing in 6.9.x?
Comment 4 Jaroslav Tulach 2010-10-05 11:35:09 UTC 
Really? Did this work in 6.8? OK, then I'll see what I can do.

Really. Initially, you have to setup shortcut for Open in System action, because there is no menu item for it. Then you create the shortcut try it on any package.

The action does not work for Bundle.properties neither for manifest.mf as far as I can tell.
Comment 8 Jaroslav Tulach 2011-03-04 08:55:54 UTC 
Open in System actions works fine on folders without extensions. Let's enable it: ergonomics#0f460a3a2125

Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *201103050000* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress)
