Return path from level-tree-index as array #94

Closed autonomous1 closed 7 years ago

For display of physical locations within the inventory hierarchy the path returned from level-tree-index can be difficult to comprehend from a user's perspective. It would be nice to have the path available as an array to make it easier to generate more user friendly displays of the path as well as create a breadcrumb-like list of links.

It is also pretty hard to read the location id that it gives. It looks like a long string of the hierarchy of locations but maybe you could have it just say the actual box name that its in (so the last thing on the hierarchy) and then have something that you can click on to show the hierarchy. More than likely you are going to have few enough boxes that you remember where they are.
