Opinions about path style

i have been using a couple og programs where i believe the path information is more usefull than mediamonkey...id like to know what you think about this:

1. Reverse path...would look like

\smashing pumpkins greatest hits\albums\music\c:

2. Abbreviated path...this changes according to the size of the column, and always shows the child before the parent:

c:\...\smashing pumpkins greatest hits\

and if the column gets bigger then:

c:\...\albums\smashing pumpkins greatest hits\


i can even think of an option to show or not filenames on path (i know this has been discussed http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... =5148]here) and to choose the format (allthough might be to less of a thing to add an option and complicate the program even more)

anyhow...i'd like to hear what you think and if you prefer any of those 2 methods to the actual one.

BTW...i personally like the 2nd one

I prefer the way it's implemented right now where MM cuts of the end if the column isn't wide enough.


I use the info at the beginning of the path myself.

The ability to put a tick in "reverse path" in options would be ideal for me as there are situations when I could use either.

I believe the reversed path would be great for those countrys that read from the right to the left. and the option would be welcomed in those countrys
