I had another look. Yes, this is cool.
If you truncate, you could put the full, non truncated path in a pop over, that
would be a cheap way to solve that problem, no ? In any case, in my testing
there was enough space.
Maybe also add a trailing / to indicate that it represents the directory and
not the selection ?
Also when I tested it, using
FDOpenFileDialog new openModal.
the path is initially blank, it only fills when I start clicking.
BTW, could it be that FDMorphicUIManager becomes default automatically ?
And related to github filetree, what is the proper way to get a new version
once you loaded the code ?
