option to display a specified number of leading paths in the file navigator pane #40

Closed yarikoptic closed 9 months ago

yarikoptic commented 2 years ago

related to #39 as an option to adjust display of filenames an example of which I use here

if I have a following filenames structure

d1/mn152.nii.gz
d2/mn152.nii.gz

opening both of them at the same time would just show two mni152 entries in the pane, making it impossible to distinguish between the two. It would be cool if mricrogl helped to make difference obvious. It could be

manual option on how many leading parent paths to include in the display
automagic option: if conflict (the same name) is detected, choose sufficient number of leading paths to distinguish

thank you very much in advance

Hover the mouse over the filename in the Layers panel to see the full path.

yarikoptic commented 2 years ago

seeing full path while hovering is good, but not really a solution since would require mental power to keep mapping from "hovering session" in mind while looking at the paths in the pane.

oh, cool, what was done for this @neurolabusc ?

Hover solution is implemented. There is always a trade-off between simplicity that eases maintenance as well as consistent behavior for all users and configurability. Moving forward, inherent scriptability of NiiVue can allow you to create custom solutions.
