Description

it'd be useful to have an option to not show full file paths in the app

currently, full file paths are shown in a lot of places - the window's title, under the preview of the selected item, in the recent libraries area, etc

this could be a problem for many reasons, like if you're sharing your screen and don't want your whole file paths visible for privacy, or if you just don't want it to take up the space that it does

Solution

i think there could be a toggle for showing full file paths, and they can either be hidden fully, or truncated to something like [library folder]/path to selected item/selected item.ext or just selected item.ext

maybe also an option to keep the drive visible? something like C:/.../[library folder]/path to selected item/selected item.ext i don't know how useful that would be though, i just had the idea lol

and then if you want to see the full file path, there could maybe be a switch to toggle it temporarily (think password inputs, and toggling visibility), or a context menu to copy the full path (as opposed to the one showing, maybe that could be separate?)

Alternatives
