I just put a limit of 48 characters on the length of path to display in
full.
Just seeing it for the first time in the new release. First impression:
Very nice, thanks!
The 48-char limit however prevents me from seeing the most important
right-tail of the path even when I make the window very wide so that
there's ample space.
(On Windows the path will often start with
"C:\Users\<username>\Documents", so that's already more than half of
the
48 chars for typical usernames.)
So could the char limit be a function of the window width?
thanks,
