Recent files list with merges

Post by isheedm »

I have two remote log files I loaded that have very long path and filenames. I experimented with the Merge feature in 1.1.1. I then looked at the recent files list and the GUI dialog was wider than my screen because the merge "filename" was a concatenated string of the two original files.

I recommend that you don't put merge entries in the recent file list, or name them with a shorter name.

The SCP URL for one of my remote files was 109 characters long...

This is now fixed in v1.1.2 that should be available in december 2007.
All file names are now shortened to 90 chars, including merged and SCP files :

Code: Select all

C:\myfolder1\myfolder2\myfolder3\myfo[...]olderA\myfolderB\myfolderC\my_file.txt
merge://C:\myfol[...]my_file.txt;C:\myfold[...]my_file.txt;C:\myfold[...]my_file.txt
merge://scp://user@host:/myfo[...]erA/my_file.txt;C:\myfolder1\myf[...]folderC\my_file.txt
(only the middle of the path is truncated to keep protocol and file name as much as possible)
