  • scfg: long paths cannot be viewed

    From Nigel Reed@1:103/705 to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Sat Nov 7 00:21:04 2026

    I have a long pathname for "actual file path" and don't see any way to view the extent of the path. I'm not sure if it's possible to have some hover over popup or maybe shift cursor right to view the right size?

    Hitting enter should pull up the string input box and allow you to scroll left and right to see the entire path.

    It doesn't.

    The brackets mean the path is derived, not stored: that directory has a blank Actual File Path, so SCFG shows the library's Parent Directory plus the lower-cased internal code. Enter opened an empty input box because the stored value really is empty.

    Fixed in the next build: Enter now shows the derived path in the input box (scroll with the arrow keys; leaving it as-is keeps the setting blank), and on a terminal wider than 80 columns the directory window widens to show the whole path. The help text (F1) for the bracketed fields now explains this too.
