Hi ! 

I'm wondering how to open a published file in the browser instead of opening it with a software like Photoshop, how can I do that?

Thank you

  Hi Brice,

  The app that is running when you launch a publish is (appropriately enough) tk-shotgun-launchpublish:

  https://github.com/shotgunsoftware/tk-shotgun-launchpublish

  The bit that actually does the launch is a hook that you could override:

  https://github.com/shotgunsoftware/tk-shotgun-launchpublish/blob/master/hooks/shotgun_launch_publish.py

  I think that if instead of doing an app launch, or letting the OS determine what to do with the file, you grab the folder it is in and show a browser window, you'd get the behaviour you'd want.  You could look at this code from our tk-shotgun-launchfolder app as an example of how to code it up:

  https://github.com/shotgunsoftware/tk-shotgun-launchfolder/blob/master/app.py#L35-L75

  Think that would work for you?

  Hi Brice,

  It sounds like you're looking for the Launch Folder app. Let me know how that works for you!
