Mockup of proposed path bar changes (7.17 KB, image/png)
2010-05-26 09:31 UTC, Allan Day 		Details

Description Allan Day 2010-05-25 13:51:03 UTC 
Displaying the file path below /home/user is both superfluous and potentially confusing.

/media should also be hidden when browsing a mounted device

The full path should only be displayed when browsing below /home/user or when a device has been accessed through /media.
Comment 1 Alexander Larsson 2010-05-25 20:20:42 UTC 
I don't quite understand this. We already hide this in the pathbar when its not explicitly expanded by the user.

Mockup of proposed path bar changes

Apologies, I should have been clearer. Right now, /home and /media are hidden by scrolling the pathbar off to the left. The proposal here is to do away with using that scrolling mechanism to hide those directories. The attached mockup demonstrates what that would look like.
Comment 3 Allan Day 2010-06-20 20:03:32 UTC 
Changing component as part of ongoing bug reorganisation work.
Comment 4 Cosimo Cecchi 2011-04-06 18:44:32 UTC 
I think we should try to do this for 3.2
Comment 5 André Klapper 2011-08-11 19:24:32 UTC 
This is better in 3.1.4 - it works as proposed except for when the path bar becomes longer than the screen width (see bug 620870). Going back, the toolbar does not start with the user's Home folder anymore but has two additional higher levels (/ and /home).
Comment 6 Cosimo Cecchi 2012-04-29 21:45:20 UTC 
I now pushed a patch set that implements the changes proposed in this report to git master.
