[FEATURE REQUEST] Show full path of scripts

Open AE-SAY-WAY opened this issue 3 months ago • 4 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When I look at my scripts, some of them are named the same, so I dont know which script its reffering to

Describe the solution you'd like Can you show the full path of the scripts when we are to click them, so I can get more context which script that is.

Hi @AE-SAY-WAY, thank you for your suggestion.

I'm not quite sure how I feel about doing this. Showing the full path is indeed clearer, but is much harder to design for.

First, it'll be a little harder to distinguish scripts for users a setup similar to mine, where I have all scripts in bins/scripts/, because it'll be more to read before I can distinguish the name.

Secondly, the full path can be long. For example, I quickly made it show the script basename first, and the full path on a new line:

With the full path, we have scroll bars. Either I make the container much larger, accept the horizontal scrolling, or cut off overflow. The first is limited, and won't work on smaller screens, and the two other solutions aren't great either.

Open to suggestions!

@chhoumann i think you should do away with this menu... for this reason https://github.com/chhoumann/quickadd/issues/941

Furthermore, you could show the full path but code block the actual note name like this:

A/B/C/note_name.md

Sorry the issue I linked isn't a bit clear...

Perhaps do away with the browse button, and when search box is clicked, it opens the what browse button opened?

Or you could do away with the search box, and keep the browse button.

Either way, you could open up a model.

What are your thoughts?
