I love the new quickMove/quickJump feature, with one caveat. I have many mail folders with the same name path suffix, e.g., Mail/admin/president and Mail/ZZ_Last_Year/admin/president. Both show in the quickJump Name Box as admin>> president, so there's no way for me to tell which is which. Suggestion: When duplicate leaf names show up, find the rightmost name on the path for which they differ. If it's not the immediate parent, then use ... to elide the missing path components. For my example above, I'd like to see Mail>>...>>president and ZZ_Last_Year>>...>>president
Go to QuickFolders Options, General Tab Right-click the [x] quickMove button setting increase the setting extensions.quickfolders.premium.findFolder.maxPathItems according to your needs.
I'm affected by the same issue. While changing extensions.quickfolders.premium.findFolder.maxPathItems is a functional workaround, the suggestion about using "..." and the rightmost name of the path would be really helpful (IMHO).
Axel's suggestion works well for me. The ability to elide intermediate nodes in long path names might also be useful as an additional option for how to present the path, but not in place of what has already been implemented.
Created an attachment (id=8027) [details] 4.1pre23 Added a user interface (on the QF Pro tab under premium features) for configuring the type and folder depth: 0 Folder name 1 Folder name - Mail Account 2 Account - Folder Path 3 Folder Path 4 Folder URI (mainly for debugging) Also a Maximum Path depth number to restrict the number of parent folders that may be displayed. Special case: if a QuickFolders Tab is shown, I only show its name. Some questions follow from this: # Should the Tab category/categories be listed along with it? # Should any parent folders or account be listed for QF Tabs? I think the answer to this one is 'no' as QF Tabs should have unique names anyway and this info is overkill and complicates the feature. # do the results need icons? (like on the recent folders tab) Other useful options might be: subfolder popups (might be performance problematic) and a parent folder link
