Using the "explore" verb rather than the "open" verb in filemanager_open_directory() *might* work. I'll try that.

Didn't help. The good news is that it didn't launch Wireshark; the bad news is that it didn't open an Explorer window on the directory, either. I suspect what happens with the "explore" verb is that Windows Explorer says "hey, wireshark-gtk2.exe isn't a directory, I can't open that up as a folder window!"

I guess we need some way to convince the UI that when we say "wireshark-gtk2" we really mean "wireshark-gtk2", not "wireshark-gtk2.* and use the 'best' one you find" - if there is a way to do that.
