Reveal in Finder not working with $ in filename

[zpunk125]

Hello.
I have a filename with an “$” in the middle of it and do a “Reveal in Finder” from the sidebar, nothing happens. Seems to work OK if I command-click and “Reveal in Finder” from the editor. Also “Reveal in Finder” in sidebar seems to work fine on all other files - issues seems to be triggered by the $ character.

Thanks

this bug is presumably related to how the open_dir command tries to expand “dollar variables” internally, its not specific to a Mac:

"Open containing folder" fails when file name contains "$"

When right clicking a file whose name contains "$" on the side bar and choosing "Open containing folder", "This PC" is opened instead of the containing folder. It works fine for files without "$" in their names, and also using "Open containing folder" from the file itself and not from the sidebar. I'm using build 3126 on Windows.

thanks. the twist is that it works ok from inside the text editor portion of the window ~ but not the sidebar ~ so they must use slightly different algorithms.
