How Do I "open folder in explorer" in Netbeans PHP

Question

I'm attempting the conversion from Eclipse PDT to Netbeans PHP, and so far I'm really impressed. What would make things perfect is being able to open up a file structure in the standard windows explorer.

Say I want to copy in a data file I've just tweaked in another app, or downloaded from a remote server, I have to navigate manually to the folder structure that I already have open in the IDE.

It's just about the only thing from Eclipse that I miss in Netbeans. Any suggestions how I can reproduce the functionality?

Answer 1

You can use Path Tools plugin (you have to download it from the site and install by manually adding it in downloaded section in NetBeans plugin menu)

There is also more recent plugin QuickOpener for newer NetBeans versions.

Other nice plugin that offers this functionality is CoolEditorActions, available through update center in Infrastuture category.
