Interaction Finder <> Explorer

Hi,

With Parallels I could use explorer in the Windows VM and right click a folder / file and do 'Show in Finder' / 'Open in Finder' and vice versa (right click folder in finder > 'Reveal in Windows' / 'Open in Windows'

Is there an equivalent in Fusion?

Hi,


This is not available as a feature in VMware Fusion.

You can share folders from the host in the guest. But not then from the guest open Finder immediately at the correct spot.

Finder at the host cannot open folders within the guest.

The only thing that Fusion offers in this area is "default applications" (under menu "Virtual Machine"-> Settings) and while it offers you some integration, it isn't what you are asking for.
