I can't do without it!
I'm starting to use NB 9.0 today, but the pluging looks working very well. I only use the open Windows Explorer feature.

Commas in the path
Pathtools is a great great plugin!
We use it for long time. But the error is that it fails to open file if the path contains comma (,) It fails to open file, but copy path works great. Would be nice to fix this.

Not working on Netbeans 7.2
What a pitty! It would be a GREAT plugin, but unfortunatly doesn't work on Netbeans 7.2
I tried evend version 1.5 of the plugin, but nothing

Works in 7.2 but not for all files
Although it has Copy Paths context menu item for Project node and java nodes, it doesn't have it for png files for example. Is it possible to add it to any file?
However toolbar button works even for png files.

Not compatible to NB7.2
Seems not to work with NB 7.2 b1 anymore - see http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212411
An alternative is http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/43217/quickopener

Works with NB 7.1
I can also confirm that this plugin works with NB 7.1.
But one issue: When you copy paths in favorites view, ".shadow" will be appended to filename.

Beats all the VIM Plugins…
… because you can use the one and only original Vim. Hint: use
cmd /C start path to vim\gvim.exe -g --servername project-name --remote-silent "{path}" to start. That way all files will be opened by the same vim server instance. On Mac OS and Linux you won't need the cmd stuff as vim will spawn itself into the background.

RE: Does not work with 6.8
Hi thomasbarnett,
Glad to hear you got it working. I have tried fix to the bugs in my plugins several times but I just could not get the hg clone of the main and main/contrib mercurial repos to finish after several attempts. The repos have just gotten too huge. Very frustrating. thanks, Sandip

[solved] RE: RE: Does not work with 6.8
I did not change any setting though the quotes were not escaped, e.g. was "explorer /e, "{path}"". Escaping quotes did not make a difference. However, "cmd /C start..." did the trick. Thanks. I would try to debug, if I could figure out how to checkout the pathtools only and not the entire contrib :)

RE: Does not work with 6.8
Did you by any chance change the settings for explore command file or folder ? The default settings are - "explorer /e, \"{path}\"" for folder and "explorer /e,/select, \"{path}\"" for file. If that does not work you can try something like "cmd /C start explorer \"{path}\"".
I currently do not have access to a Windows XP machine so I could not try it. BTW the source code for the plugin is at http://hg.netbeans.org/main/contrib/file/tip/pathtools in case you want to attempt to debug it.

Does not work with 6.8
While it lasted it was an indispensable plugin, alas does not work properly with 6.8. When one use's "Explore Path..." from the context menu within the Projects pane IDE freezes until the launched Explorer window is closed. NetBeans 6.8 (Build 200912041610); XP Pro SP3.

RE: 6.8 version
Hi zudrom,
I just tried Path Tools on NetBeans 6.8 and it worked. What is not working for you? Regards, Sandip
Posted by sandipchitale on Mar 28, 2010
6.8 version
Could you please update plugin to work with current Netbeans version (6.8)?

Enhancement requests
I would love to see some of the enhancements I asked for iin this feature request:
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=169084 They involve being able to copy & paste files to/from the Projects/Files views and the local file system. Also, the "Explore" option should be available when right-clicking files (in addition to folders) for easier use on folders that have a lot of files. Awesome plugin!

edit problem on linux
i installed it on linux but not working edit button.
i tried {path} and the other marks but file name is incuding extra ":" char at end of the file name for ex: index.php: so dont work
Posted by calcifer on Feb 03, 2009
Excellent
I love this plugin! Great work!
I do much of my work from the cygwin command line, and having the ability to just click a button to open a bash prompt at the desired location is a great time saver. BTW: I have not had any problems using it with NB 6.5

Hi
First of all. great job!it's a very usefull netbeans plugin.I'm having some trouble with it, I'm using netbeans 6.5 and after having a couple of files open I wan't to explore a path, the explorer is open but the ide freezes... :(

Editor Context Menu? Editor Tab Context Menu
I thank you for this as well. It is indeed very useful.
Could you add options to add these choices to the Editor context menu and especially to the Context Menu that is displayed from the Editor Tabs themselves? When your cursor hovers over one of these tabs, a tool tip displays the full path for the file that is being edited with the editor page associated with that tab, but you can't copy that full path to the clip board at that time.

6.5 support
Will you ever get around to provide support for NB 6.5?

RE: Suggestion
bbtech, I have added the /D command line argument as suggested by you. Thanks.
Posted by sandipchitale on Jan 22, 2008
Suggestion
Thanks for the great plugin!
I would like to suggest that you change the default shell commands to: cmd /C start cmd /K cd /D "{path}" cmd /C start cmd /K cd /D "{parent-path}" (note the /D option) That will make it so that it will open the prompt in the correct drive.
Posted by bbtech on Jan 17, 2008
Thanks
Thanks for your comments. I am looking into adding some of these actions to the nodes in Files and Projects windows. I need to find the sources myself ;)
Posted by sandipchitale on Dec 21, 2007
Perfect
Thanks for the plugin. This is exactly what I was looking for, especially the "Explore Action" that launches the File Explorer. I use it all the time now.

Feature request --- context menu item & sources
I really like this plugin (as it saves me hours of typing “cd” commands into a terminal:)
Would it be possible to add two context menu items – “Explorer path” and “Shell on path” in the project/files view? (like Explore from here has http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/PluginDetailPage.jsp?pluginid=15) Also are there sources available? (Your blog says coming soon :) Best regards, Ajasja

Change file extension to .nbm
It happened to me too. I will have it corrected.

Change file extension to .nbm
The file that I downloaded has a .zip extension, in order to install it in Netbeans it needs to be changed to .nbm.
