Open-Blend-Directory

An cross platform addon for Blender that lets you press Alt + Shift + R to open the directory of your save file!

What it does

  • Reveal the location of the currently opened blend file in the explorer. On windows and mac, it automatically selects the file as well.

How to use it

Installation:

  1. Download the OpenBlendDirectory.py from the releases tab. (DO NOT DOWNLOAD AS ZIP, THAT WILL NOT WORK).
  2. In Blender, Edit > Preferences > Addons > Install.
  3. Locate the OpenBlendDirectory.py and double click it.
  4. Enable the Open Blend Directory by pressing the checkbox to make it checked.

Use:

  • Press Alt + Shift + R, it will open an explorer window with the file selected

Customization

Changing keybinds

  1. Edit > Preferences > Keymap
  2. Search "Open Blend Directory"
  3. Change the keybind to your liking

Motivation

  • This is a super basic addon, I just wanted it because I hate having to find the saved directory of my Blender project every time I want to add textures to it.

Platform Support

  • This should be cross platform, supporting Windows, Mac, and Linux. I used system commands, so it should be really simple to add support for different operating systems, it's just a matter of what platform.system() gives you.
