Description David Simonek 2007-03-29 16:08:04 UTC

This is usability request - when I tried powerful include/exclude pattern
mechanism for the first time, I was puzzled by the fact that whole path is shown
in the lists. I tried to set patterns like:

F:\Adoption\Excel\jexcelapi_2_6_1\jexcelapi\src\

instead of correct one

jexcelapi\src\

IMHO names of items in include/exclude lists should start with subfolders of the
source folder chosen in previous wizard step "Existing Sources"

Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2007-03-29 21:12:44 UTC

The reason it shows the full path is that it is (potentially) matching against
multiple source roots.

Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2007-10-27 21:00:48 UTC

Now shows relative path, unless you have >1 root, in which case it shows the complete path (since otherwise it would be
hard to distinguish between matches from the different roots).
