individual description truncation #44

Closed linuxcaffe closed 9 years ago

linuxcaffe commented 9 years ago

Currently, if any description in a utw#format task exceeds the available width, all desriptions are truncated, mid-line While this is effective and the intent of the task is still decipherable, a per-description scheme would be better, truncating a description as needed, leaving the others unmolested.

My intent was to truncate the descriptions but never the tags, as there will be plenty of room for descriptions generally. Could you send a screenshot, because when I look I see long descriptions getting truncated where the tags start on a per description basis.

Opening a tasklist with

nnoremap   T  :Unite taskwarrior -vertical-preview -auto-preview -no-split

and obviously, I need to work on my unite mappings! the trainwreck: http://picpaste.com/Utw_tasklist-trunc-trainwreck-P0xPqLwf.png I'm seeing a stripe of ".." truncation down the middle of the window, the the <80col line wrapping is a mess too. My impression (wild guess) is that the preview window is driving the width, as the lasklist opens up looking good (>80col) and on the first previewed note, the tasklist window crunches down to what you see in the screenshot.

Yeah that's really not what I want to happen. I haven't done much with autopreview, so maybe that is messing something up? I'm not sure I'll play with it.

I'm having trouble reproducing this issue. I tried and I found that even if the preview took up most of the space I didn't see any truncation. Though I could be doing something wrong. I've made some changes to the preview to make it more stable as I found some other issues with it.

yeah, looking good in basic tests, thanks
