Feature: Display path hint when multiple tabs have the same folder name #14175

Open Bibipp45 opened 11 months ago

Bibipp45 commented 11 months ago

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

Would it be possible to display the full path for each tab as original on the file explorer and not just the name of the open folder please.

Requirements

Files Version

3.0.8

Windows Version

10.0.22631.2715

Thank you for the feedback, we'll consider this suggestion but in case you weren't aware, you can view the full path by hovering over the tab.

original on the file explorer and not just the name of the open folder please.

Is there a way to enable this in File Explorer?

Bibipp45 commented 11 months ago

Yes I know that the path is visible when hovering but it is not practical when moving a file or folder. On the original explorer the option to enable full path is here: "... /Options /Display/Show full path in title bar"

That's for the title bar, do they have a way to enable it for the tabs as well?

The issue with displaying the path on the tab itself is that longer paths would be cut off and the actual folder wouldn't even be visible. This issue would be amplified in dual pane mode where both folder names are displayed on the tab.

I suppose we can display a hint without displaying the full path (similar to VS Code), would this help for your use case? image

Bibipp45 commented 10 months ago

Yes it can be quite good, to try

I'd like to expand on this request and provide a good example of the implementation from XYplorer where you can have multiple tabs within a dual pane and the path bar is added to the bottom of the tab row -

Tabs within dual pane view_Path

Each directory within the path bar is also clickable so you can jump directly to any folder all the way up to the parent. Allowing tabs within the dual panes also provides much more flexibility for combinations than switching between the current tab implementation with a single directory for each pane.

Nice, good job
