I'm attempting the conversion from Eclipse PDT to Netbeans PHP, and so far I'm really impressed. What would make things perfect is being able to open up a file structure in the standard windows explorer.
Say I want to copy in a data file I've just tweaked in another app, or downloaded from a remote server, I have to navigate manually to the folder structure that I already have open in the IDE.
It's just about the only thing from Eclipse that I miss in Netbeans. Any suggestions how I can reproduce the functionality?

To open a local file/folder (as a file-explorer) in Netbeans, in the top menu-bar goto: Window -> Favourites (or press Ctrl+3), this will open 'Favourites' pane, here you can open files or folders (in Linux, by default you will see your 'home' directory).
Right-click on an empty area of the desktop. Click on New and then Shortcut. c:\t is the folder you want it to open to. Replace this with the folder you're interested in.
Press Ctrl + Shift + H. On the screen appear option scope . Click on this text-box and choose the project you want to find needed text snippets, or you can find all of the projects. I am using Netbeans 8.1 Best regard !
You can use Path Tools plugin (you have to download it from the site and install by manually adding it in downloaded section in NetBeans plugin menu)
There is also more recent plugin QuickOpener for newer NetBeans versions.
Other nice plugin that offers this functionality is CoolEditorActions, available through update center in Infrastuture category.
