Add show / hide option to show in status bar full path of selected node #2525

Open ratra1 opened 3 weeks ago

ratra1 commented 3 weeks ago

Can you please add show / hide option to show in status bar full path of selected node.

So for selected node in status bar to be shown something like: root/node_1/sub_node_of_node_1/...

I raised a similar question here. https://github.com/giuspen/cherrytree/issues/730 I didn't follow up the idea to hack the CherryTree source code. Instead I wrote a Python script in a CodeBox (placed in the node) to find the absolute path to the selected node.

But the full path to the selected node is also shown on the node name header, isn't that enough?

Yes. But I would like to see the path to selected node when Tree Explorer is hidden. Anyway the app is great as it is and this is just a suggestion for future.

Consider a CodeBox inside the node where a Python (or other) script requires to parse the content of that node. How does the Python script refer to that node?

But the node name header with the full path to node is not in the tree explorer, it is above the text, look at the top right in the screenshot example for b / sh / html

This is a different matter, you would like to support code executed in a node with for example environmental variables that expose node name or else... it is a fair request but this should go to another ticket along with description of a practical case / test example
