There is already a little folder icon next to the project icon you can click to view the project folder. I don't think a sidebar button is necessary, but well see what the general opinion is.

Ok thanks, I tried to click directly on the folder path, not working. I missed the small icon.
I thinks should be helpfull, because I didn't found the icon and the cursor don't change like a clickable link. If I missed, maybe more people will miss it.
Thanks you save my time ;-)

I'm not sure if the cursor should change when hovering that button, as that would be inconsistent with other buttons. Maybe we could make an exception for that particular button since it's difficult to notice.

I'd prefer keeping the sidebar tidy, so I'd rather not add another button to it.

what about having underline with pointing hand cursor when hovering on a project path?
and opening the path when clicking it.

@volzhs I've thought about it too, I fear this could be easily misclicked when double-clicking a project in a hurry.

The path and the open folder button is in a very unnatural place IMO. I don't know a better place though.

@Jummit I guess we could add a right-click context menu to be consistent with the FileSystem dock, but it's a fair amount of work.

This isn't consistent with other buttons, but helps people notice
the button is actually clickable.

This partially addresses
