Open File Or Folder In Windows Explorer From Side Bar

#1

From inside Sublime Text 3 with the Side Bar visible I am trying to right-click on a folder or file listed in the folders view and have it open in Windows Explorer.

How can this be done please?

What I have tried.

I have downloaded and added the SideBarEnhancements. github.com/titoBouzout/SideBarEnhancements

When I go to Folder or File in the Side Bar and right-click -> Open With -> Edit Applications the Side Bar.sublime-menu file opens.

There I added:

[code] {“id”: “side-bar-files-open-with”,
“children”:

		//apllication 0
		{
			"caption": "Explorer",
			"id": "side-bar-files-open-with-explorer",

			"command": "side_bar_files_open_with",
			"args": {
								"paths": ],
								"application": "C:\\Windows\\explorer.exe",
								"extensions":".*", //any file with extension
								"args":]
					},
			"open_automatically" : false // will close the view/tab and launch the application
		},
		
		//application 1 following...[/code]

while leaving the other examples following below intact.

Though when I right-click a folder in the Side Bar and select Open With -> Explorer nothing happens.

When I click on a HTML file and Open With Explorer it does open it in my browser.

How can I simply open the folder in which the file is stored from inside the Side Bar? Exactly like when I right-click into the file edit tab and select Open Containing Folder.

How can I simply open the folder from inside the Side Bar?

Thank you for your help.
