Some people will [...]

I’ve been using Rhythmbox as my main music player for years, and I’ve always missed an option to open the folder that contains one chosen song. So yesterday, I wrote my first plugin for RB, that fix this. Now you right-click a song, and select “Open containing folder” to get its folder opened. Easy and [...]
