Hi See Mantis bug report #10297 for a screenshot of the issue I have. http://www.freepascal.org/mantis/view.php?id=10297
I have a 1440x900 widescreen display, yet the Projects|Open Recent Projects popup menu is very wide due to long directory paths and project names. What if we trim the paths that get displayed in the popup menu if they go over a certain length. Not sure if this should be always on (default), or user selectable. I think always on should be fine if we use a descent trimming algorithm. eg: We can trim a very long project path like show below to a max of 60 characters. /home/graemeg/programming/3rdParty/tiOPF2/Source/Demos/WorkInProgress/Demo_31_AdrsBook_MGM/Demo_AdrsBook_MGM.lpi ...becomes... Linux: /home/...rogress/Demo_31_AdrsBook_MGM/Demo_AdrsBook_MGM.lpi Windows: c:\home\...gress\Demo_31_AdrsBook_MGM\Demo_AdrsBook_MGM.lpi or Linux ...orkInProgress/Demo_31_AdrsBook_MGM/Demo_AdrsBook_MGM.lpi Windows: ...orkInProgress\Demo_31_AdrsBook_MGM\Demo_AdrsBook_MGM.lpi We can discuss the trimming algorithm to use. My preference is the first one. Show the first complete directory (in Windows we include the drive letter) and trim the rest down to size. The project name *.lpi must always be complete. What's you thoughts on this?
