claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [FEATURE] Show relative path instead of filename in VS Code Extension [1 participants]

TL;DR

Implement a setting to toggle between displaying full relative paths and file names for edited files in the VS code extension.

Guidance

• Consider adding a configuration option to the VS code extension to allow users to choose between full relative paths and file names.
• When designing the setting, take into account the trade-off between conciseness and informativeness, as some users may prefer the brevity of file names.
• To verify the effectiveness of the solution, test the extension with various codebases, including those with multiple files having the same name.
• Evaluate the impact of the new setting on the overall user experience, considering factors like usability and performance.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue focuses on a feature request rather than a specific implementation detail.

Notes

The proposed solution assumes that the technical feasibility of displaying full relative paths is not a significant concern, given the existing ability to view the full path by clicking on the file name.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement the proposed setting to toggle between full relative paths and file names, as it provides users with more control over the information displayed, addressing the core issue without requiring a fundamental change to the extension's default behavior.
