Open container folder in cmd but as a toolbar button ?

Hello,

I would like to have a toolbar button for this action

Is it possible to have that ?

thanks

One way would be using the PythonScript plugin.
Create a new script, give it a meaningful name and add something like this

from Npp import notepad, MENUCOMMAND

notepad.menuCommand(MENUCOMMAND.FILE_OPEN_CMD)

Add it, via the Configuration... menu item to the toolbar section

and restart npp.

@shodanx2 ,

Alternately, install the Customize Toolbar plugin, enable Plugins > Customize Toolbar > Custom Buttons, then edit ...\plugins\Config\CustomizeToolbar.btn to include something like the following:

File,Open Containing Folder,cmd,,onion.bmp,onion.ico,onion.ico
File,Open Containing Folder,Explorer,,*R:Ex,*G:Ex,*B:Ex

The first line uses a pair of BMP (16x16, 256 color) and ICO files I had readily available to do the open-containing-folder-in-cmd, and the second line does the explorer version: it uses a RED-background Ex if using Standard Icons, a GREEN-background Ex if using Fluent icons in Light Mode, and a BLUE-background Ex if using Fluent icons in Dark Mode:

As mentioned here, the extra spaces around the buttons are due to an unfixed bug in the CustomizeToolbar plugin. The workaround is to also define a replacement icon for the Show Symbol default toolbar entry using

View,Show Symbol,Show All Characters,,Icons\allChars.bmp,Icons\allChars_off.ico,Icons\allChars_off_dark.ico

That issue-comment has links to where you can get the BMP and two ICO files for that button.
But using that in addition to the commands I showed earlier will make the button toolbar more compact:
