BreadCrumb Navigation

Open g-pearl opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

it is possible to implement a breadcrumb navigation bar similar to what windows has.

Example:

C:\test\temp\folder1\folder2

To get back to the temp folder being able to click temp instead of removing the Folder1\folder2 in the address.

I know that I can hit the backspace twice as well.

If you implement this, please don't do this like the Windows explorer where the folder structure is shown with greater-than-symbols like: Folder1 > Folder2 > Folder3

In any case, please keep the folder structure shown with backspaces like: Folder 1\Folder 2\Folder 3 The greather-than-symbol is inappropriate there, the only special character for distinguising folders IS the backspace (for Windows).

@martinstingl It's not a greater-than (>) symbol. It's a › and is common in breadcrumb navigation to visually separate parts of the trail. Note how you can still focus the address bar and edit or copy the path in Explorer.
