    In VS2005, if you right click on an open file's tab, you can select "Open Containing Folder" and it will open that folder in Windows Explorer. Notepad++ currently has "Current Dir Path to Clipboard". I use this a lot, followed by win-e, alt-d, ctrl-v, enter. It would be very helpful if it was just one click, as in VS2005.

      So, I was going to add this feature myself but I couldn't get it to build.

      I downloaded the code from the svn.
      Then I downloaded MinGW and MSYS.
      Then I added those directories to my path and went into PowerEditor\gcc and typed make.

      I got a bunch of build errors. Perhaps the MinGW compiler is slightly different than VC++ and it hasn't been kept up to date in both ?
