I like QuickFolders and I am using the Premium Features all day long ;-) After using it for long time now I still miss an option like show on/off whole path because in the popping up window for long paths a part could be seen only. Sometimes I gave the same name to subfolders like year or month and than it is not possible to use the shortcuts. Do you see a chance for that? Thanks Wilhelm Schilling
Created an attachment (id=8211) [details] Premium configurtation - path for quickJump / quickMove Do you mean this? On the QF Pro tab there are several options for configuring the path shown in hte premium features (quickMove / quickJump). In your case you can choose Account-Folder Path, Maximum Path depth: 5 or something more suitable for your purposes. You can also configure the "Recent folders" list in a similar way by going to the General Tab and right=clicking the "Display Recent Folders Tab"
Thank you for your quick answer. Now I understand I did not explain exactly: I know this options to configure. But it is not displayed in Windwos totally, a part of a long path is not to see. Can you configure that?

Can you configure that? > I think what you are saying is that the menu isn't wide enough physically for the full path to fit? can you post a screenshot with an example so I can see how it is being cut off?
Created an attachment (id=8212) [details] Test case: very long path I think this is an example of what you meant: this is a folder with the path: /Mail/pop.gmail.com/LAB-Testing.sbd/Long Path Test.sbd/Long Subfolder.sbd/Even longer subfolder.sbd/insanely long subfolder and it gets truncated at >> insanely lon... on my system. Is that roughly the width that you see in your version?
Yes - that looks very familiar :-( that is what I meant.
I found the rule that causes this in chrome://global/skin/menu.css, line 180 menupopup > menu, menupopup > menuitem, menupopup > menucaption { max-width: 42em; } Normally I would try to put this rule into userChrome.css /* allow extra long paths. default is 42em */ #QuickFolders-quickMoveMenu > menu, #QuickFolders-quickMoveMenu > menuitem, #QuickFolders-quickMoveMenu > menucaption { max-width: 100em !important; } but for some reason it does not overwrite the rule above from the default skin (I also tested with menupopup > menuitem). If I change the original value in DOMi it has the desired effect, so I stilll need to figure out why I cannot make an overriding rule which has clearly higher specificity.
Created an attachment (id=8249) [details] 4.6.1 prerelease 36 test version increasing popup menu items width from 42em to 100em.
Fixed in 4.7 (Released 20/02/2017)
