Quick Path Opener

Quick Path Opener is a lightweight VS Code extension that allows you to quickly reveal specific files or directories in the VS Code Explorer view using file paths or glob patterns. It is designed for developers who often copy-paste file paths from terminals, logs, or documentation and need to locate that file instantly in their project tree.

Features

• Smart Path Resolution: Works with:
  • Relative Paths: ./src/components (relative to your workspace root).
  • Absolute Paths: /Users/username/project/config.json.
  • Home Directory: ~/Downloads/*.
• Glob Pattern Support: Use wildcards to find multiple files (e.g., src/**/*.test.ts).

Why Choose Quick Path Opener?

Because the native VS Code file opener:

1. Doesn't locate git-ignored files and folders unless you disable this behavior, which can lead to those files appearing in content search results.
2. It lacks support for glob pattern searches.

Usage

1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on Mac).
2. Type "Quick Open: Path in Explorer" and press Enter.
3. Paste your path or type a glob pattern.
4. Press Enter.
