Do not open duplicate file explorer windows from Render page

PostMon Apr 19, 2021 6:28 pm

Each time I render a timeilne, I will frequently open the destination folder by right-clicking the completed render > Open File Location.

If the file location is already open in an existing window, that window should be foregrounded in File Explorer. Current behaviour is to open a second copy of the same window, which can leave you with lots of copies of the same window open after an editing session.

I would vote no on this. We can solve this one ourselves by switching to the open window rather then opening it again.

Is this something that affects you? I would be interested to hear your workflow where the current behaviour is preferred. Any other application I've used does what is proposed.
