When opening a file e.g. via poedit po/de.po the history (File->very
bottom) is not remembering full path, but only the short path ending
up in not loadable history entires. In the example case po/de.po.

Hi,

On current Debian unstable, I confirm that poedit 1.5.4-1 displays,
in the File menu, the basename of the last files that were open by
passing their name on the command line.

However, in my experience it does not remember these files *at all*
once poedit is closed and open again. Frank, if you can confirm this,
then I suggest we retitle this bug report so that it's clear that only
runtime history is affected, while persistent history is not (if the
total lack of persistent history for such files is a problem for you,
then please file another bug).

What are the practical issues caused by the runtime history not
keeping the absolute path, by the way?
(On my system, this is merely a display glitch, and does not prevent me
from re-opening a file I've just closed, as long as poedit is kept
running in the meantime.)

Cheers,

FYI, it (wxWidgets, rather) _shows_ just the basename, but remembers and uses the full path just fine.

Hi,

OK, thanks for clarifying. I believe the user experience it implies is
quite sub-optimal, in the case of a translation program: in this
usecase, users are likely to edit multiple files in a row, all named
$LANG_CODE.po, and then it's confusing if the UI displays all of these
just the same in the recent files history, right?

Can wxWidgets be convinced to display the absolute path, or at least
some identifying part of it?
