I don’t know if this is common to all wappler users:
when I select a page to ‘Show in explorer’ Wappler opens the site’s rootfolder and I need to select the file again to open it in explorer.
Is it possible to make this in 1 step instead of 2.
Show in explorer opens the folder containing the folder and focuses/highlights it.
What is the behavior you expect?
I should expect that selecting the file in Wappler and pressing the button “Show in explorer” the browser opens directely with this page.
The browser? It opens the selected file/folder in the operating system file explorer, that’s why the option says “show in explorer”…
There is a preview in browser button in Design View.
Why not “Show in Chrome” or another browser which you can define in the Options ?
Explorer is not coming from Internet Explorer. It’s your operating system file explorer. You open the file in the file explorer, not in a browser.
Ok, it was just a proposal to run things faster. 
This option is for faster locating files or folders in your file explorer.
How would you open a psd file in a web browser, or how would you open a folder in a web browser? It’s just easier to get to your files in your system file explorer this way and this has been requested by the community users.
If you want to view the file in your preferred internet browser then you can use the “Open in Browser” option within the design view.

I think you are confusing your systems file explorer with the browser, Internet Explorer. This button does not open it in Internet Explorer browser. It opens it in your systems folder structure. Can't remember what it is called on a Windows machine, but it is called Finder on a Mac. File Explorer and Internet Explorer are two different things.

I always test the file in my local browser.
And Wappler always uses your local browser for previewing your pages.
The error message states you need a target with a server defined (local or remote, doesn't matter). You cannot preview files without a server defined, as your server side code must be compiled on the server before running in the browser...
It's the same as you cannot just open any random HTML/PHP file from a random folder on your machine in a browser and preview it.
I don’t need a server to test html.
Let it be so. Problably I am the 1 percent who works only html. 
You need a target, different than “local” in order to preview the page in browser. Usually this is a local server (wamp/xampp/mamp/iis) installed on your machine, accessed via the Local Folder option in the target config.
Most of us are using HTML files for the sites we are creating, but all the serverside related data is using php/asp/asp.net and also needs a server to be executed!
