Make it possible to see the complete path of a searched file

Open grayfallstown opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

When hovering over a searched file it shows me the filename as tooltip again. It should show the complete path instead.

Actually, it should show the entire path in some way for all search results. I guess searching for Cargo.toml would not be helpful on a dev machine if you cannot see which projects all the shown Cargo.toml files belong to.

I'm not sure what I would prefer, but here are some ideas:

Show the reversed path, having some transparency or a different color for the path, so the filename stands out: filename.txt > parentfolder > its_parentfolder -> C:

Show the filename in one row and in the row below the absolute path in a different color and small font. This approach could allow to add more information in that information row, like file size, creation date, last changed, last accessed, owner etc.

I agree, would be helpful and easy to do.

Or add a "Open file location" button on right click?
