The path to open files is always displayed as an absolute path about nvim-tree.lua HOT 5 CLOSED

I have the same problem with nvim 0.9.5 and lunarvim 1.4-release

I just want to show the 'HelloWorld' folder as the root path

from nvim-tree.lua.

In open_in_new_window() function in open-file.lua

local fname = utils.escape_special_chars(vim.fn.fnameescape(filename))

will be

local fname = utils.escape_special_chars(vim.fn.fnameescape(vim.fn.fnamemodify(filename, ':.')))

but nvim-tree will change cwd, so open_in_new_window() function need vim_cmd parameter

from nvim-tree.lua.

That was discussed in the past, please search other issues but from top of my head it's a noop.

from nvim-tree.lua.

@CcccX2017 you can change the vim/nvim-tree root at startup to match your requirements, see wiki Open At Startup for recipes.

@epheien see #2127 for the feature that will meet your requirements. PRs are always welcome.

Closing as duplicate.
