"Show File" in 2.1b6

JonEP

I see that the "View File" button has been converted into a small arrow in the toolbar, so that if an attachment is selected in the library, one can now click on that arrow, and then click on view snapshot in order for the pdf to appear in the browser. I note that this is two clicks to get to the same result that was possible with just one click before, but perhaps that was done in the interest of conserving space in the gui?

In any case, I am (or was?) a big user of the "Show File" button -- all of my articles are stored as PDFs in a folder in My Documents (on windows computer), and when I wanted to open a particular one I would find it in the library, then click on Show File and a file explorer window would open with the appropriate, linked PDF selected and ready to be opened. Is there any way to do this in 2.1b6?

Double-click on the item.

(To be clear, double-clicking isn't new. Double-clicking has been identical to the View button for a while.)

Sorry about that--didn't see that thread. Thanks.
