Yeah, that could be useful. Could use the click event on the notification: https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/api/notification.md#event-click

Thanks for the issue @xenio!

@sindresorhus @skllcrn Perhaps we could send a desktop notification after save that, when clicked, opens the destination?

I am looking for a first PR on a project that is not my own. Do you have any guidance on where to start and could I take this issue?

@BrandonKlotz nice! Welcome 馃槉 I'd start by cloning and running master, then read about the plugin arcitechture here, and when you get that, we have the "default save to file" service code here: https://github.com/wulkano/kap/blob/master/app/src/main/save-file-service.js in which this one could be implemented.

As the issue title says to add an option to do this, you will need need to read about how to enable config to a plugin here: https://github.com/wulkano/kap/blob/master/docs/plugins.md#config

Here's how you can call electron to open the exported file in finder: https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/api/shell.md#shellshowiteminfolderfullpath

Hope that points you in the right direction 馃憤 Feel free to ask more if I missed something or if you want it explained further 馃槆
