Behavior of `automatically_open_screenshots` does not match documentation

Tested versions

• Reproducible in: v4.5.1.stable, v4.6.dev6.official [dec5a37]

System information

Godot v4.6.dev6 - Arch Linux #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon, 24 Nov 2025 15:21:09 +0000 on X11 - X11 display driver, Multi-window, 2 monitors - OpenGL 3 (Compatibility) - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (nvidia; 580.105.08) - 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-13400F (16 threads) - 15.37 GiB memory

Issue description

The doc says that interface/editor/automatically_open_screenshots makes the screenshot opened in a PNG viewer/editor.

godot/doc/classes/EditorSettings.xml

Lines 911 to 913 in dec5a37

	<member name="interface/editor/automatically_open_screenshots" type="bool" setter="" getter="">
	If [code]true[/code], automatically opens screenshots with the default program associated to [code].png[/code] files after a screenshot is taken using the [b]Editor &gt; Take Screenshot[/b] action.
	</member>

But if you try to use Editor > Take Screenshot, it opens the directory containing the screenshot instead of opening the screenshot itself.

Checking the source code also shows this behavior:

godot/editor/editor_node.cpp

Lines 3864 to 3866 in dec5a37

	if (EDITOR_GET("interface/editor/automatically_open_screenshots")) {
	OS::get_singleton()->shell_show_in_file_manager(ProjectSettings::get_singleton()->globalize_path(p_path), true);
	}

Both behavior make sense, so I'm not sure whether this mismatch should be considered a documentation bug or an editor bug.

Steps to reproduce

1. Check the description of editor setting interface/editor/automatically_open_screenshots.
2. Check the actual behavior of Editor > Take Screenshot.
3. Compare them.

Probably best to fix the documentation, but changing the behavior would work as well, but in the latter case the documentation still needs to be fixed for grammar (should be "associated with" not "associated to")
