SUMMARY
***
Feature request: configure Filesystem Browser to show current project folder
(analogous to behaviour of git window)
***

The behaviour of the git window is to "follow" the currently edited file's
project folder, i.e. if the file belongs to a project, then it opens the
project automatically. This is great.

I would like to configure the Filesystem Browser analogously, that is: open the
project folder in the Filesystem Browser window automatically (if the file
belongs to a project).

Currently the "options" action of the filesystem browser contains an entry

`automatically synchronize with current document`

I like this, this works for all files, whether they belong to a project or not.
However, if the *does* belong to a project, then I almost never want to go the
subfolder in which the document lives. Instead, I want to go to the top-level
project folder, because usually the file I actually want to navigate to lives
in a different subfolder. This adds navigation overhead.

Would it be possible to make an entry:

`automatically synchronize with the project directory of the current file (if
the file belongs to a project)`

Is it possible to do this with a plugin? Thanks!
