Enh request - function to get ~ relative path about powerline HOT 6 CLOSED

Yeah, can you prototype something to do that @rkeithhill?

I once thought about using "~" and any defined PSDrives ... and testing to see if $pwd starts with their root paths, and then replacing the string with that. Obviously as you've seen, I just settled for one folder name (because I use ZLocation, the folder name is the important thing), and putting the whole path in my title (or in my status bar, thank you conemu).

In fact, I do have a prototype. Let me submit it as a PR tonight. It "might" be a good starting point so I won't hold it against you if you reject the PR. But it's a start. :-)

Did anything come of this @rkeithhill ? If not, I think I have a path-shortener function that could be used for this.

Yes, see #7

Ah, I didn't look good enough then. Thanks. Oh well, I at least got inspired to add some more functionality to my function :)

There are two versions of this in the 2.3 release.

• Get-SegmentedPath (breaks each folder into a powerline segment, using the powerline separator, and has an option to limit the number of segments)
• Get-ShortenedPath (limits the total length of the path, and has an option to render each folder (except the last) as a single character instead of the real name)
