[FEATURE]: Restore "Open Project Folder" button in Desktop UI #31214

Description

In the Desktop app, there used to be a convenient button/option to quickly open the current project folder in:

  • File Explorer (Windows) / Finder (macOS)
  • VSCode or other configured editors

This feature seems to have been removed or hidden after the UI redesign.

Use Case

As a developer, I frequently need to:

  1. Open the project folder in File Explorer to drag-drop files or check file structure
  2. Open the project in VSCode for quick edits or debugging
  3. Access project files outside of OpenCode

Having this feature directly in the Desktop UI saved time and clicks.

Expected Behavior

A button or menu option (preferably in the title bar or project header area) that provides:

  • "Open in File Explorer" / "Open in Finder"
  • "Open in VSCode" / "Open in [configured editor]"

Current Workaround

Currently I have to:

  1. Manually navigate to the folder in File Explorer
  2. Or use terminal commands: explorer . or code .

Environment

  • OS: Windows 11
  • OpenCode Desktop Version: v1.16.2

Additional Context

The UI redesign brought many improvements (tabs, new titlebar), but this quick-access feature for opening the project folder was lost. Please consider restoring it in the new UI design.
