Nicotine+ version: v3.3.0
Operating System/Distribution: Windows 10

Describe the bug

The context menu item "Open in File Manager" (or similar, I'm using the German interface) does nothing.

Expected behavior

It should open the file manager in the respective folder.

Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Download something (or have something downloaded).
  2. Right-click on a file, select "Open in File Manager".
  3. Nothing.

Just saw someone else complain about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Soulseek/comments/1ahg6ry/comment/kos7fh9/

Btw, thanks for the excellent release!

Thanks!

I think the issue is that the change to run scripts without a visible window is too broad, and also affects custom file manager and audio player commands.

You can unset the file manager in Preferences -> URL Handlers for now, to make the file manager window visible.

Please try 3.3.1.dev1 and see if it works fine for you: https://nicotine-plus.org/doc/TESTING.html#windows

Works fine! One thing, however, that's unusual (but I don't know if it's new) is that when you perform that action on a file that was moved or deleted, the folder that's being opened is the "incomplete" folder. I'm not sure that's to be expected.

Great! Thanks for your bug report.

What sort of other event would you expect?

Hmm, maybe a hint that the file(s) in question are no longer in place, along with the option to clear all these files, now that we have this new feature that does exactly that.

Alternatively, just open the default Soulseek download folder. It's the "incomplete" that I take issue with, since those downloads were, in fact, complete.

This was an oversight when the code related to download folders was refactored. Fixed in the latest unstable build: https://nicotine-plus.org/doc/TESTING.html#windows
