Too long file names has problems

[YasarKantarcilar]

it would be perfect if it only shows last 2 folders so it would be better to see where to navigate.

[YasarKantarcilar]

or maybe a function that splits the string by / and returns only 2 or 3 folder paths. that makes u help how many folder path u want to see in each harpoon item path string

Okay I got something working here which gets the bases on the width of the plenary window then you could truncate each folder to how many lines you like or get the file + parent directory

Harpoon Setup

		local harpoon = require("harpoon")
		local truncateAt = require('config.harpoon-truncate')
		local Path = require("plenary.path")
		local function normalize_path(buf_name, root)
			return Path:new(buf_name):make_relative(root)
		end
		harpoon:setup({
			default = {
				create_list_item = function(config, name)
					name = name
						or normalize_path(
							vim.api.nvim_buf_get_name(
								vim.api.nvim_get_current_buf()
							),
							config.get_root_dir()
						)

					local bufnr = vim.fn.bufnr(name, false)

					local fileDirectory = vim.fn.expand('%:p:h:t')
					local fileName = vim.fn.expand('%:t')
					local pathname = fileDirectory .. '/' .. fileName
					local newName = name;
					if (string.len(name) >= truncateAt.trucateLength(name)) then
						newName = Path:new(name):shorten(2)
						-- or
						-- newName = pathname
					end

					local pos = { 1, 0 }
					if bufnr ~= -1 then
						pos = vim.api.nvim_win_get_cursor(0)
					end

					return {
						value = name,
						context = {
							row = pos[1],
							col = pos[2],
							name = newName
						},
					}
				end,
				display = function(list_item)
					return list_item.context.name
				end,

			}
		})

Truncate file

local HarpoonText = {}

function HarpoonText:trucateLength()
	local win = vim.api.nvim_list_uis()

	local ui_fallback_width = 69;
	local ui_width_ratio = 0.62569;
	local width = ui_fallback_width

	if #win > 0 then
		-- no ackshual reason for 0.62569, just looks complicated, and i want
		-- to make my boss think i am smart
		width = math.floor(win[1].width * ui_width_ratio)
	end

	local truncateAt = math.floor((vim.o.columns - width) / 2) - 1

	return truncateAt
end

return HarpoonText

it's not perfect but should aleviate some of your issues with the length

Yeah figured out another way so this should be a bit better

		local harpoon = require("harpoon")
		local Path = require("plenary.path")
		local function normalize_path(buf_name, root)
			return Path:new(buf_name):make_relative(root)
		end
		harpoon:setup({
			default = {
				create_list_item = function(config, name)
					name = name
						or normalize_path(
							vim.api.nvim_buf_get_name(
								vim.api.nvim_get_current_buf()
							),
							config.get_root_dir()
						)

					local bufnr = vim.fn.bufnr(name, false)
					local pos = { 1, 0 }
					if bufnr ~= -1 then
						pos = vim.api.nvim_win_get_cursor(0)
					end

					return {
						value = vim.fn.expand('%:p'),
						context = {
							row = pos[1],
							col = pos[2],
							name = name
						},
					}
				end,
				display = function(list_item)
					local name = list_item.context.name

					local windowWidth = vim.api.nvim_win_get_width(0)
					local ui_fallback_width = 69;
					local ui_width_ratio = 0.62569;

					local truncateAt = math.floor(windowWidth * ui_width_ratio)

					if truncateAt < ui_fallback_width then
						truncateAt = ui_fallback_width
					end

					if (string.len(name) >= truncateAt) then
						name = Path:new(name):shorten(2)
					end

					return name
				end,

			}
		})
