Suggestion: relative pathes in document selector

Post by phax »

Hi there!
I love the document selector, but when dealing with very deeply nested pathes, and having "Show full pathes" enabled, the visibility rapidly degrades.
That's why I suggest the displaying of relative pathes (lets say e.g. 3 levels), so that the full path

D:\install\java\jakarta-taglibs\standard-1.0\src\org\apache\taglibs\standard\tag\common\fmt\BundleSupport.java

becomes

...\tag\common\fmt\BundleSupport.java

This would be very helpful to me, and possibly to others as well.

not for me

interesting idea; i never use full-path display. I keep selector as narrow as practical, so i probably wouldn't use even 1 additional level. And since you see the full path when hovering the mouse, for me that's enough.
