For a future version could you please consider adding a GUI button to open the objects folder in File Explorer?

It needs to be a one click thing becuase...

Currently I use the options below which take a few clicks to get to the objects folder

1. Right click a module, click "File Explorer" and then navigate to the objects folder
or
2. Right click a file in Files Manager, click "Open Files" folder and then navigate to the objects folder

I did think about that but thats still multiple steps ie click Main, hold down Ctrl and then click.

The problem at the moment is that I do it enough for it to be annoying. I open my project from the taskbar/recent projects, compile and then go hunt for the objects folder.

Actually, maybe a compile step would be suitable. I'll see if I can implement it in b4x_cba.

@aeric thanks for the idea 💡

in b4x_cba I’ve added an openfolder action and also added an option to copy the output jar to the clipboard which is even easier than going to the folder to copy to clipboard.
