Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Right now, in the context menu of a file, the same icon is used for "Move or copy" and "View in folder". This is unfortunate.

Describe the solution you'd like
A clear icon that is more informative for "View in folder" and differs from the icon for "Move or copy".

Icon suggestion
I made a quick SVG icon that could be used:

<svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M20 18H4V8h16zM12 6l-2-2H4a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v12a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h16a2 2 0 0 0 2-2V8a2 2 0 0 0-2-2z"/><path d="M12 11.44c-.88 0-1.6.72-1.6 1.6s.72 1.6 1.6 1.6 1.6-.72 1.6-1.6-.72-1.6-1.6-1.6m0 4.27c-1.46 0-2.67-1.2-2.67-2.67s1.2-2.67 2.67-2.67 2.67 1.2 2.67 2.67-1.2 2.67-2.67 2.67m0-6.67a6.3 6.3 0 0 0-5.87 4 6.3 6.3 0 0 0 11.74 0 6.3 6.3 0 0 0-5.87-4"/></svg>

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the file context-menu entry for “View in folder” and the existing icon used for “Move or copy”; compare the suggested SVG with the project’s icon conventions. Done when the two menu actions display distinct, informative icons and the context menu renders correctly.
