Feature Request: Add a menu option to open settings.json #52

Description

@danstis

Summary

Please add a right-click menu option to open the app's settings file directly.

The app already stores settings at:

%APPDATA%\ClaudeCodeUsageMonitor\settings.json

It would be helpful to expose a menu action such as:

  • Open Settings File
  • Open Config Folder

Why this would help

For advanced users, some settings and troubleshooting steps are easier when the config file can be opened directly instead of navigating to the AppData path manually.

This would help with:

  • quickly editing settings that may not yet be exposed in the UI
  • troubleshooting bad widget position or model display state
  • verifying whether settings were saved correctly
  • reducing friction when testing or reporting bugs

Suggested behavior

A right-click menu item could:

  1. open settings.json in the default editor, or
  2. open %APPDATA%\ClaudeCodeUsageMonitor\ in Explorer

If the file does not exist yet, opening the config folder would still be useful.

Possible menu placement

This seems like a natural fit in the existing right-click menu near other utility actions.

Nice-to-have

A second shortcut could be useful too in future:

  • Open Log File
  • Open Config Folder

But the main request here is simply quick access to settings.json.
