helm-buffers directory on its own line

[nmaludy]

Hello,

Today i pulled the latest version of helm and noticed that helm-buffers has changed its format. Previously the format was:

filename size mode
directory
filename size mode
directory
....

The new format has changed to:
filename size mode directory
filename size mode directory
....

I often work in deep directory trees and with this format i'm only able to see the first 2-3 directories in the file's path. Is there a way that i can revert this format so that the directory is back on its own line?

Thanks,
Nick

I did some digging and i was wrong about the exact format.

The old format was indeed:

filename size mode directory
filename size mode directory

However the directory names (when long) wrapped lines. It worked like this through v1.6.6 and changed in v1.6.7 to the non-line wrapping behavior.

Is there a variable that i can set to regain the line-wrapping format?

Thanks,
Nick

Sorry but I don't understand what you want, actually the lines are
truncated if too long, what do you mean by "wrapped"?

I would like the lines to not be truncated and for the extra portion of the line to be continued onto the next line aka "wrapped".

Example of truncated:

MyLongFileName.el 12k Emacs-Lisp ~/src/lisp/my_project/s

Examle of line wrapping:
MyLongFileName.el 12k Emacs-Lisp ~/src/lisp/my_project/s
rc/some/deep/directory/structure/

In the "line wrapping" example you can see that the directory is continued on the next line. This happened in previous versions of helm (v1.6.6 and earlier).

Thanks for explaining.

You should now be able to modify this with new var
`helm-buffers-truncate-lines'.
