Duplicate recent files #338

Open sho-87 opened 1 year ago

sho-87 commented 1 year ago

The recent files list shows duplicates of files on Windows because some plugins use / and others use \ as the path separator when opening the files.

Is there a way for dashboard to just standardize the windows paths and use the same separator, so the list isn't filled with duplicates?

mru read from v:oldfiles . echo v:oldfiles it should give same result. i don't use windows . why the file has different path sep ?

sho-87 commented 1 year ago

I just opened 10 files using different plugins, like telescope, neo-tree etc and the MRU list all uses \ path sep, which is correct:

But when I use the dashboard hotkeys (1-9) to open one of those files, it changes the path sep to /, and it then shows up as a duplicate in MRU:

So I think dashboard is setting the windows path sep to / when opening a file, when all other plugins are setting it to \
