plugins - Eclipse: Open containing folder for file NOT in the project explorer -


i know there various plugins startexplorer or easy shell allow open containing folder files or folders selected in project explorer. looking open containing folder file not in eclipse project explorer.

a typical situation find myself in cdt view, crtl-click on include statement , open .h file not in project explorer, can't use plugins above open containing folder. pathname tip appears 5 seconds when put mouse pointer on top of name of file, can navigate folder manually, very deep pathnames , takes ages navigate there, , have check pathname tip many times because keeps disappearing. other editors have open containing folder option when right click on name of file. miss functionality in eclipse.

does know how solve this?

edit: easy way reproduce situation dragging , dropping text file outside eclipse eclipse. i'd open containing folder of file (imagine didn't know came from). suggested below, tried ctrl+return, doesn't work in situation, says there not property pages file.

look @ file properties (alt+return or via context menu).

the location field non-editable text means can select value (alt+lctrl+actrl+c) , copy clipboard.

if doesn't work, try f2. tooltips become windows can copy&paste content.

if doesn't work, fear you'll have file feature request.

[edit] seems hit bug 207467 - [propertiesdialog] properties page external files
