Show Publisher's exported file path for all publishing methods

[ammacdon]

Of the 3 publishing methods, to create:

• Flat file structure -> shows exported file location
• Folder structure -> shows exported file location
• Single file --> Does NOT show exported file location

Instead, the success dialog box is effectively redundant/useless as it displays no new information. It repeats what is already shown by the green checkmark and in the status column (see screenshot).

The user expects to see the exported file location in this case as well.

You can rightclick on the items to get there.

But yeah, seeing a file path right there would also be nice for cross checking.

Hi Runxel, at least on my Mac, right-clicking doesn't work either (no screenshot because no contextual menu pops up when right-clicking).

With this publishing method, it seems there's no way to find the location of the exported file other than: going back into the publisher settings, then manually locating the file in the Finder, etc.

Lots of unnecessary mouse-clickings.

Embarrassingly I just realised that the path is also there, so your wish is already fulfilled. 🤗

Are you on a very old version? If right clicking does not work then you must be. This was added like at least 8 years ago.

Hi Runxel, thanks for the reply. Are you using the "Create single file option"? That's where the problem is (see screenshot below of AC 29).

From your screenshot, it looks like you're using "real folder" or "flat file structure".

Before posting this, I had emailed GS bug support and they confirmed this (IMHO buggy) behavior, and that it's been present since AC 26 (I remember it going back to AC 20 or even 18, but that was a long time ago).
