[Request] Open track in file manager

[tlvince]

A small feature would to be able to right click on a track and "open track in file-manager". This shortcut is generally quite standard but is useful.

I think using "xdg-open /path/path" might work.

This should be in the collection and file panels at least. Isn't there a built-in command for this ? xdg-open is widely spread but it's not in the core of python.

I'm not aware of anything in the Python stdlib for something like this. There's webbrowser to open a browser, but nothing for general "open this file" AFAIK.

In any case, xdg-open is installed by default in most modern distributions. It should be fine for a plugin to depend on it.

Moving to 0.3.0; would be nice to have this by then, though not a big deal. Since it requires an external executable, it's probably best as a plugin.

deferring to 0.3.1

We've got code to do this from the Properties window. Now it's a simple matter of copying the functionality to the context menu.
