Filer: New note from selection needs context for folders with the same name #644
I confirm I have restarted NotePlan and this problem still persists.
I confirm I have reinstalled the Plugin and this problem still persists.
Is this a repeatable problem?
System
Device OS: macOS 15.5 (24F74)
NotePlan Version 3.17.2 (1385)
Plugin Name & Version: Filer v1.2.0
Describe the bug
When I /create new note from selection, the location chooser pops up. If I then start typing e.g. init to find my Initial Assessments folders (I do a lot of these!) then they all appear, but with no context to where they live.
Instead I would like some kind of trail, e.g. prefix in small grey after the name, or at least something to identify which one I want!
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Create multiple folders with the same name in various places
Select some text, hit Cmd-J, choose Filer: /new note from selection
In the folder chooser, type the first few letters of the common folder name

@jgclark I have this same issue/need. Would love to see paths in the chooseFolder chooser by default
You should probably ellipsize to show just the last n chars of the path

I should be able to improve this, within the limits of the Command Bar.
