"File-->Reveal As" menu item reveals containing folder similar to "File-->Send" or "Export"
In order to provide rapid access to on-disk file locations, the Human Interface Guidelines for Gnome/KDE could include a "Reveal As-->" menu item on the "File" menu common to many Gnome/KDE applications. The "Reveal As-->" menu item would have a submenu similar to the "Send-->" submenu found in other applications such as openoffice.org, but instead of attaching the current file/document to an email, it would instead open the folder containing the file in the format specified.
Every user has the experience of saving a file inside their favorite program, then multi-clicking their way through the file manager in order to access it. The proposed HIG "Reveal As", to be available File menu of many applications, seeks to eliminate the hassle of remembering where something was just recently saved by automatically opening the folder.
