Tabs delimiter between folder path and Filter configuration

Post by Thy Grand Voidinesss »

Currently if user explores some folder by writing its path in the Search Edit field of a Tab but then also chooses a Filter, then the name of that Tab is composed from the path plus name of chosen Filter, which are separated with the minus sign. This can be very confusing, especially if user uses the

-


sign in names of items and Filters. For example this

Code: Select all

C:\test - Copy - test - copy
seen in a Tab means that user made a test folder named

Code: Select all

test
then quickly copied it using CTRL + C & CTRL + V which resulted with creation of folder named automatically by Windows

Code: Select all

test - Copy
and then applied to it a copy of Filter also named

Code: Select all

test
which user had copied and manually named

Code: Select all

test - copy
in order to distinguish it from the original one


And so I propose to give users an ability to choose the delimiter, so that instead of a mandatory whitespace followed by the minus sign and another whitespace, they could use whatever they want - and thus prevent such situation like the above from happening and also save precious horizontal space as pleased

I myself would most likely choose



without spaces and thus would see

Code: Select all

C:\test - Copy◀test - copy
in that exemplary edge case situation
