Shorten name by using ellipsis. #6
Conversation
But this is the only way to get readable sink otherwise we just have the prefix which are all equals. "Audio interne Stéréo analogique".

Not sure this is the best solution but as least I cannot now properly select the proper sink. |

Thank you for your merge request, I'll review in more detail in the following days. |

Hello ! Any news about this ? |

Hi! I haven't had a lot of time to focus on my side projects. Altough I am running an older version of the extension of my system ellipsis are automatically for long menu strings, this is not the case on more recent versions of Gnome? (I'm still running 3.30) See below a screenshot of my system:
Could you share a screenshot of what is happening on your system perhaps? |

No I have ellipsis but at the end. But the ellipsis are coming after a common long prefix (maybe because of French translation), so I have many entries like: Because real names are: Where atrthur and salon are computer names on my network. |

I misundertood what you intended to do (sorry) ! I though you were adding ellipsis at the end of the string, and I was not undertanding why that would solve your issue. After running the name of your devices in the fuction you wrote I get it now. I should have read the code more carefully ;) End result: I have mixed feelings about this because I feel that I might be solving your use case, but breaking some one else because the string is now cut in the middle. I will need to think about this, one way out would be to make this an option, but I would like to avoid that. |
