Thanks a ton for reporting this issue!

Looking into this, the way we currently open the file explorer occurs here.

Which essentially boils down to:

const shell = require('electron').shell;
shell.showItemInFolder(filePath);

Looking into it I can find some reports of the same behavior, such as here.

Which suggests that a solution would look like:

const shell = require('electron').remote.shell;
shell.showItemInFolder(filePath);

Although, I haven't done the testing or research to see if we would be able to do this.

thanks to you !
i guess i have to compile my own pulsar to test that,
i will try asap if i can (not sure)
or wait to be fixed by core devs in a future release 🙏

Hello

without the time to fix it on the core package
i created a custom package that fix it, at least on windows,

trought a "📂 Show with explorer+" entry
added on the right-click context menu of the explorer pane.

i'm open to publish on the community package list but i dont know how

These directions are pretty thorough, though they probably need an update. You'll want to run ppm login to authenticate beforehand.

Make sure the package.json points to the correct GitHub repo and that you authenticate as the user that the repo is hosted on.
