Too long file names has problems

[YasarKantarcilar]

it would be perfect if it only shows last 2 folders so it would be better to see where to navigate.

[YasarKantarcilar]

or maybe a function that splits the string by / and returns only 2 or 3 folder paths. that makes u help how many folder path u want to see in each harpoon item path string

Okay I got something working here which gets the bases on the width of the plenary window then you could truncate each folder to how many lines you like or get the file + parent directory

Harpoon Setup

        local harpoon = require("harpoon")
        local truncateAt = require('config.harpoon-truncate')
        local Path = require("plenary.path")
        local function normalize_path(buf_name, root)
            return Path:new(buf_name):make_relative(root)
        end
        harpoon:setup({
            default = {
                create_list_item = function(config, name)
                    name = name
                        or normalize_path(
                            vim.api.nvim_buf_get_name(
                                vim.api.nvim_get_current_buf()
                            ),
                            config.get_root_dir()
                        )

                    local bufnr = vim.fn.bufnr(name, false)

                    local fileDirectory = vim.fn.expand('%:p:h:t')
                    local fileName = vim.fn.expand('%:t')
                    local pathname = fileDirectory .. '/' .. fileName
                    local newName = name;
                    if (string.len(name) >= truncateAt.trucateLength(name)) then
                        newName = Path:new(name):shorten(2)
                        -- or
                        -- newName = pathname
                    end

                    local pos = { 1, 0 }
                    if bufnr ~= -1 then
                        pos = vim.api.nvim_win_get_cursor(0)
                    end

                    return {
                        value = name,
                        context = {
                            row = pos[1],
                            col = pos[2],
                            name = newName
                        },
                    }
                end,
                display = function(list_item)
                    return list_item.context.name
                end,

            }
        })

Truncate file

local HarpoonText = {}

function HarpoonText:trucateLength()
    local win = vim.api.nvim_list_uis()

    local ui_fallback_width = 69;
    local ui_width_ratio = 0.62569;
    local width = ui_fallback_width

    if #win > 0 then
        -- no ackshual reason for 0.62569, just looks complicated, and i want
        -- to make my boss think i am smart
        width = math.floor(win[1].width * ui_width_ratio)
    end

    local truncateAt = math.floor((vim.o.columns - width) / 2) - 1

    return truncateAt
end

return HarpoonText

it's not perfect but should aleviate some of your issues with the length

Yeah figured out another way so this should be a bit better

        local harpoon = require("harpoon")
        local Path = require("plenary.path")
        local function normalize_path(buf_name, root)
            return Path:new(buf_name):make_relative(root)
        end
        harpoon:setup({
            default = {
                create_list_item = function(config, name)
                    name = name
                        or normalize_path(
                            vim.api.nvim_buf_get_name(
                                vim.api.nvim_get_current_buf()
                            ),
                            config.get_root_dir()
                        )

                    local bufnr = vim.fn.bufnr(name, false)
                    local pos = { 1, 0 }
                    if bufnr ~= -1 then
                        pos = vim.api.nvim_win_get_cursor(0)
                    end

                    return {
                        value = vim.fn.expand('%:p'),
                        context = {
                            row = pos[1],
                            col = pos[2],
                            name = name
                        },
                    }
                end,
                display = function(list_item)
                    local name = list_item.context.name

                    local windowWidth = vim.api.nvim_win_get_width(0)
                    local ui_fallback_width = 69;
                    local ui_width_ratio = 0.62569;

                    local truncateAt = math.floor(windowWidth * ui_width_ratio)

                    if truncateAt < ui_fallback_width then
                        truncateAt = ui_fallback_width
                    end

                    if (string.len(name) >= truncateAt) then
                        name = Path:new(name):shorten(2)
                    end

                    return name
                end,

            }
        })
