Motivation
When working with different directories that have some common files that have long full path names, it's hard to find the right file from the list. This is because the panel's width is 500 and the full path may not be shown completely within the panel as below
In this illustration, when looking up
sample.txt
, the user has no idea about the directory information (bothpath/name1
andpath/name2
do matching)The patches
The previous illustration now becomes
and this helps user to quickly find the right files.
Of course this doesn't solve all edge cases when there are a few more levels of duplication in full path names.
