Add "Open Enclosing Folder" to File menu

What inspired this wish list request?  Make it easier to access the file itself in Windows Explorer

 

What is the improvement you would like to see?  Add "Open Enclosing Folder" to the File menu so that from a data table, the user can quickly open the folder holding that file.

 

Why is this idea important?  Improves accessibility of JMP outputs.

Till the function is available, you could use:

dt = current data table();
file_path=dt <<Get Path;
filelength = Length( Word( -1, file_path, "\/" ) );
pathlength = Length( file_path) - filelength - 1;
path = Substr( file_path, 1, pathlength );
open(path)

Note, Mac users can just right-click on the document name in the window's title bar.  But Windows doesn't have anything like this.
