[Feature Request]: Add a toggle for Open File vs. reveal in folder #3073
Add a toggle that lets users choose what Open File does for a completed output: open the file itself or reveal it in its containing folder.
Problem
Opening the file directly can launch an unexpected default application. Other times users want the file opened immediately. A single fixed behavior cannot serve both workflows, and the previous folder-opening behavior was useful for locating the output and related files.
Proposed behavior
Add a clearly labeled toggle/preference for Open File behavior:
Open the file in its default application.
Show in folder and select the file where supported.
Use the selected behavior whenever the user clicks Open File after an export or completed file action.
Persist the user's choice across app restarts.
Avoid opening a visible terminal/console as a side effect; see #2309.
