This isn't really practical: if you have expanded folders, with a pointing being a relative symlink, how should the path be resolved relative to ? The root expanded folder ? The folder containing the the file ? For instance /a/afile /b/afile -> ../a/afile And with / opened with folder opened what should the status bar show when hovering over /b/afile ? The only systematic clear answer is absolute path. We can still tilde collapse it though. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
