Implementing a context menu handler to show an attachment in the expl…

[ehhc]

It would be nice to open the location of an attachment with the explorer -> Implementing a contextMenu in the MarkdownPreview to do this :)

@ehhc
It cannot work in my local environment(MacOS 10.13.5)...

(/Users/suzuki/Downloads/History.plist exists.)

It works when I fixed like below... 🤔
(MarkdownPreview#L-240)

click: (e) => shell.showItemInFolder('/' + absPath)

@sosukesuzuki but your solution would break it on windows platform.. I will think about a platform independent solution :)

Edit: i don't understand why it works at all.. your markdown content dosen't look like you inserted it as an attachment.. there the link in the markdown content should be something like :storage\...... then the generated link would start with file:///. Does it works then?

@ehhc
Sorry, I was misunderstanding.:bow: The file(History.plist) is not inserted as attachment, on the image which I uploaded.

I tried to insert same file (History.plist) as attachment, but It cannot work...

@sosukesuzuki in that case i have no idea why i dosen't work.. on my windows 10 it works .. :( no idea whats different..

[sosukesuzuki]

@ehhc Umm..., I have no idea too. I'll put label "help wanted!".

@sosukesuzuki i think the problem may be that i hard-coded the way i removed the file-prefix.. i'm using an library to do so now.. hopefully that solves the issue. Would you do me a huge favor and test it again?

Steps to reproduce:

1. drag&drop a file into the editor
2. Right-click on the link of the attachment in the markdown-preview
3. "Show in explorer" should be visible and should open the explorer at the location of the attachment

Thank you for your help :)

I think the library i'm using now solves exactly your problem (that the paths are different on linux systems).. :)

Confirm that it works on Linux Mint

@ehhc Confirm that it works on my local environment!(MacOS 10.13.5)
