§Platform Implementation Details

  • On Windows and Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) the explorer.exe /select, <path> command is used.
  • On Mac the system open -R command is used.
  • On non-WSL Linux the file-manager-interface or the org.freedesktop.portal.OpenURI DBus Interface is used if available, falling back to opening the containing folder with open.
  • On other platforms, the containing folder is shown with open.
