column to show the actual folder name
« on: October 15, 2015, 06:32 AM »
Mouser, can you add a column to show the actual folder name in "Search Folders" tab ?

It will help me to understand what folders FARR is scanning without doing some trial and error.

it's an interesting idea.. let me consider.
i could certainly resolve it in dialog shown when you edit the path.

Also, right now if you are ever curious, you can go to the Tweaks and Debugging tab and at the bottom test the resolution of any expression with % stuff like %mymusic%

Long time ago I wrote an alias to show the values for all farr's %environment variables%, this includes all the folders in the search folder tab.

Just import and type fenv (previously published as fdebug, but now with alphabetically sorted on environment variable names).
