Minimize file name length in buffer about vim-picker

[boxofrox]

On linux with neovim 0.3.5, if I :cd path/to/project, then every window in which I run :PickerBuffer shows files under that project folder with paths relative to the :pwd.

Any file not under path/to/project will show with an absolute path.

Are you looking for files outside vim's current directory (as set by :cd and show with :pwd) to be relative, too? I'm not sure this is an improvement when filenames appear with multiple ../ prefixes.

I'm looking at paths within pwd

My reproduction for this was to be in a directory, then do:

:PickerEdit " and pick a file
:PickerEdit " pick another file
:PickerBuffer " path is absolute

It's probably notable that I'm forcing the use of fd and bypassing the use of git ls-files. Here's my config:

let g:picker_custom_find_executable = 'fd'
let g:picker_custom_find_flags = '--color never --type f'

Interestingly, if I do :Buffers from fzf, followed by :PickerBuffer the buffer names have been condensed.

Thanks, I can reproduce the issue with those instructions.

If I disable line 312 from commit 6b86013c, then the paths in :PickerBuffer become relative paths again.

Other than my plugin possibly being a few commits behind upstream master, I'm not sure why I didn't see absolute paths in my initial testing.

I'm not familiar with the commit in question here. I'll have to take a look at it later to understand why it was added.

@SevereOverfl0w do you still see the absolute path in :PickerBuffer with the latest version? There's a related commit d0d1c3a that appears to fix this.
