grant_PD Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Please allow via right click to "open folder location" so that the user can get to where the various parts and pieces of libraries, plug ins, templates, standards, etc...are, without having to root around in appdata/roaming/ whatever.

RickR Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 +1 This should be very easy to implement and use. Strikes me as "why hasn't it been done already!" Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Grant Isn't that built into the OS? On Macs, if you right click on the title bar of the document it displays the folder path and you can click into any folder along the path. Or do you mean something else? mk Quote Link to comment

I am assuming the original request means adding this option into the Resource Browser, specifically? Quote Link to comment
grant_PD Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Pretty much the Resource Browser. If I'm looking into a library that I have open in the resource browser, I want to be able to right click on it and have the program open an OS window that is the location of that folder.

Andy Broomell Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) In the flyout in the upper righthand corner of the RB there's an option called "Reveal Current Favorite" which will open the current library file location in Windows Explorer/Finder, but this only works when you're in one of your Favorites, not in any of the default Vectorworks Libraries (though strangely the option isn't grayed out in those instances). Perhaps the functionality should be expanded to open explorer/finder to whatever file you happen to have open in the RB, and relabel the menu item accordingly. Of course this only helps for things in the RB. Regarding User Preferences in general, under VW Preferences So under My Documents I have a folder called "VW2015 User Folder" in which I keep templates, libraries, settings, color palettes, workspaces, etc., and have pointed VW to this more convenient location. I agree VW should make it easier. Edited November 9, 2015 by AEB Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 As far as I remember, "Project Folder" will always direct to the "Project Top Folder" Not the Projects Subfolder where you have been before. Which I don't like as it is very likely that you want to open next a similar library from the same Sub Folder as you have been before. Quote Link to comment
