Opening working directories

You can open working directories from Surround SCM to help save time locating files on your computer. The directory automatically opens in Windows Explorer or Mac Finder. On Linux, you need to configure a file manager. See Setting the file manager on Linux.

You cannot open directories for multiple files with different working directories.

1. Right-click a file or repository and choose one of the following options:

  • Windows—Choose Open Containing Folder.
  • Mac—Choose Reveal in Finder.
  • Linux—Choose Open Working Directory.

The working directory for the selected file or repository opens.

If the menu option is not available, you need to add it to the repository or file list shortcut menu. See Customizing shortcut menus.
