Attempts to open the location specified by the selected Path Flow Variable in the associated application. If a folder is specified, this will be the system's File Explorer or equivalent. Only tested with Windows 10 but it may work with other OS, as it uses Java.awt.desktop and does not directly call Windows Explorer or other operating system specific functions. For this to work, it must be possible to convert the path to an absolute drive location available on the local system (or as a mapped network drive). Paths which represent remote URLs or other KNIME hub/server locations will most likely not be compatible with this node. This should work, but please treat this as "experminental". Any queries or issues, please refer to @takbb on the KNIME Community Forum and I will try my best to assist or advise. 27 October 2023 @takbb Brian Bates
