+--[[About this plugin
+This plugin adds the module "OpenInExplorer" to darktable's lighttable view.
+
+----REQUIRED SOFTWARE----
+Apple macOS, Microsoft Windows or Linux
+
+----USAGE----
+Install: (see here for more detail: https://github.com/darktable-org/lua-scripts )
+ 1) Copy this file into your "lua/contrib" folder where all other scripts reside. 
+ 2) Require this file in your luarc file, as with any other dt plug-in
+
+Select the photo(s) you wish to find in your operating system's file manager and press "show in file explorer" in the "selected images" section.
+
+- Nautilus (Linux), Explorer (Windows), and Finder (macOS before Catalina) will open one window for each selected image at the file's location. The file name will be highlighted.
+
+- On macOS Catalina the Finder will open one window for each different directory. In these windows only the last one of the corresponding files will be highlighted (bug or feature?).
+
+- Dolphin (Linux) will open one window with tabs for the different directories. All the selected images' file names are highlighted in their respective directories.
+
+----KNOWN ISSUES----
