feat: add "Open in Finder" menu option

[AndrewMast]

🧢 Changes

Added an Open in Finder menu option.

☕️ Reasoning

Uses file:// and the project.path (opening in Windows uses \\ so I didn't use project.vscodePath).

I originally was going to add a function similar to getEditorUri, but that seemed like too much of a project change for too little code and for a first contribution. Might be best to create a getFinderUri and write os-specific implementations if it is necessary.

🎫 Affected issues

Fixes: #7853

Hi! This looks good to me, there does however appear to be some formatting issues on the TS side.

Thank you greatly for the contribution!

Should this be leveraging tauri's revealItemInDir method with their official opener plugin?

https://v2.tauri.app/reference/javascript/opener/#revealitemindir

Suggested change

	shortcutService.on('open-in-finder', () => {
	const path = `file://${project.path}`;
	openExternalUrl(path);
	});
	shortcutService.on('open-in-finder', async () => {
	try {
	// Use the Opener plugin to reveal the folder in the native file explorer
	await invoke('plugin:opener|reveal_item_in_dir', { path: project.path });
	} catch (e) {
	const message = `
	Failed to reveal directory in file explorer:
	${project.path}
	`;
	showToast({ title: 'Explorer error', message, style: 'error' });
	// Rethrowing for sentry and posthog
	throw e;
	}
	});

Thanks for highlighting this!

It looks like the tuari opener function relies on the same open crate that our implementation already does. We seem to have extra handling for AppImages that the tauri plugin doesn't have.

In the longer term we should upstream our extra logic and move over to the tauri plugin, but for now I think it's fine.

Sorry for the bother, I've just been trying this out locally and it appears that file is missing from the list of allowed protocols in open.rs:

diff --git a/crates/gitbutler-tauri/src/open.rs b/crates/gitbutler-tauri/src/open.rs

     ]
     .contains(&target_url.scheme())
     {

Again, many thanks for the contribution

Ok then I’ll add file to open.rs and do what Matthew suggested,

@Caleb-T-Owens @matthewevans How does the last commit look? Did I take it too far with the new function?

I feel like in the future, we could have an "Open in Finder" option in the context menu after the "Open in VSCode" and utilize this function:
