All,
I'm trying to make friends with geany 1.29 and notice that the documents side-bar is littered with folders for every file that is opened. This makes the document sidebar window a complete mess. The display of folders in the sidebar is wholly unnecessary. The tooltips for each file provide the complete path for each file in a very efficient and real-estate saving manner. Removing the folders would allow for a much cleaner and more usable interface.
Is there a 'Various' setting or config setting that allows you to turn display of the folders off and just show the filename? If not, then consider this feature request for a way to simply display the filename in the Documents sidebar without the unneeded folders.
Your use-case differs from most where files are in just a few directories, but pull requests are welcome.
I'll have a look and see if I can come up with a patch. I really like geany. I've got my own 'little' editor project (/drankinatty/gtkwrite) that pails in comparison to geany, but I always look for ways to improve UI's to maximize production space, minimize keystrokes or mouse-clicks, incorporate human-factors and provide user-choice where ever practicable. Providing a concise list of filenames only (I may have 100 open in a big project like TDE) hits all those points. Keep up the great work.
Kudos Geany devs. 1.33, keybindings - Toggle sidebar - works perfectly! Thank you!
