Quite question Anyway to inverse path colum in results?

Post by qewadszcx312 »

Right now the Path column isn't very useful since it often creates unusable long pathway name.

Is there a way to inverse it so the column text starts with the final file location and ends with the drive location.



EDIT: Thank you Void seems there may be a bug as path_narrow was already set to true but turning it false applying and setting it back to true made it work.
