    I often need to quickly edit a sample using an external editor (apply complex fades, apply vst processing) but

    - Battery doesn't support launching an external audio editor to edit sample
    - Battery doesn't have a menu option to reveal the sample file in the finder (osx) / explorer.

    Please fix both of these things. They're standard & expected workflow features. what should be a one/two click process, is instead a royal pita*.

    *(leave battery gui, go to finder, open new window, navigate to buried sample file manually, open in audio editor, process, back to battery, open browser, re-navigate back to buried sample file, reload. Welcome to NI file management!)

    *edit/retracted bump*
    ok so to reveal
    1 show in files
    2 reveal in finder
    3 scroll down the folder until you find the sample

    NI it'd be great if the file could be revealed rather than just the folder. Would save the user bunch of unnecessary squinting, scrolling, searching.
