| Summary | 0014575: Difficult to navigate 'up' a directory level (or node) when paths are truncated | ||||
| Description | In cases where the path to the current node is very long, MM5 will truncate the path. Unfortunately, the current approach to this is problematic in cases where the tree is missing because there's no way to navigate 'up' a level. e.g. If the user is at Music > location > D > My documents > ... Blue Rodeo (which is representative of Music > location > D > My documents > My Music > Blue Rodeo then the only way to get to My Music is by clicking My Documents and then My Music. This is particularly annoying in cases where the user is forced to manually renavigate through multiple levels of hierarchy. A workaround that could reduce the probability of this occurring would be to display directory paths more compactly. e.g.: Music > Location > D:\My Documents\My Music\Blue Rodeo and allow the user to click each element of the path. This is probably a good idea regardless. A solution would be to always place the '...' (the indication of the truncation) a level higher so that the user can always navigate one level up. | ||||
