[Feature Request] Separate File/Folder Path & File Name for Search Purposes about obsidian-switcher-plus

[darlal]

@julroger2013 thanks for the feature request! I think Headings mode does this already, except for when it's a file/alias suggestion. A feature toggle can definitely be added for that. Thanks!

[julroger2013]

Your latest release seems to indicate that this feature should now be present (in terms of hiding path, etc.). But I've tried adjusting that toggle to no effect. Perhaps it hasn't been fully rolled out yet—or, more likely, I've just misunderstood what the release notes were saying.

But I thought I'd flag this for you in case things were supposed to be working this way but aren't.

Your feature request hasn't been implemented. The most recent releases addresses a different request, and is a precursor to your request. It's coming soon though. Thanks.

Ahh yes I can see that now. It was for a different search mode.

Thank you for clarifying!

As of release 2.0.3 the filename/path rendering should be separated in all custom modes where it makes sense editor, headings, related items and starred. Thanks!

[julroger2013]

This is wonderful, and is exactly what I was thinking of.

Could I suggest adding this option (perhaps with a toggle, perhaps not—whichever you think is best!) for the ordinary Quick Switcher mode, too?

The way that the "Quick Switcher ++: Open" command handles aliases right now is exactly what I'm thinking of. It shows just the alias on top, followed by the entire path below. It would make sense to me to display the non-alias title exactly the same way: the title on top, with the entire path (including the title) below.

My file names generally aren't duplicative between different paths, so seeing the entire path name alongside the title usually isn't too important for me.

Thank you for the implementing this the way you have for editor, headings, related items, and starred. It looks great and really does reduce visual clutter!
