Maybe a solution would be to have a parameter where we can specify if we just want filenames and not full path?

Or crop path but from right (then filename is always visible but start of the full URL could be cropped).

The latter sounds better to me. Not always the filename is sufficient to identify which one was it. Think about several readmes in different folders

Hi @tfrdidi
Thanks for the suggestion. Would you mind posting a screenshot showing the problem?

When you hover on the filename, is there a tooltip showing the full filename maybe?

Hi Mattab,

I had the same issue.
For example, page below is normal page which can show the clean "hierarcical" view

+directoryA
-directotyB
page.html

so the whole link should be directoryA/directoryB/page.html, right? and it can show the "hierarcical".
but when I go to the download page. it cannot show by "hierarcical" and just grouping and showing the
whole link like below.

directoryA/directoryB/download.pdf

And I want the download page show the link by "hierarcical" like
+directoryA
-directoryB
download.pdf

because some link just so long that I cannot read the whole link when it grouped them together.
I hope you can understand my discription and I will appreciate your great advice.

Regards,

@mattab
thanks for your reply.

This is the page which can show "hierarcical" view .

This is the download page just grouping all directory together.

is that can be the "hierarcical" view like the picture 1?
+jp
+diet
+publication
this download page uploaded is all right but some time the link is so long that I cannot read it.
and I know what you mean that hover on the filename, but we are talking the link not the filename.

thanks and regards,

It is by design that the full path is displayed in downloads. We wanted to keep things simpler for downloads and outlinks and only group by domains. In your screenshots, all the filenames are visible. therefore it's not an issue

@mattab
thank you mattab, so it cannot be changed?

Not at this time see #11069

@mattab
Thank you mattab, appreciate your time.

@mattab
mattab, sorry to bother you again.
I just only want to let the download page displayed by "hierarcical". If the Action-Pages which show the condition of the HTML can display data by "hierarcical" view, so can I change the PHP code to let the PDF and JPG links into the "Action-Pages" page when the system divide the data? could this behavior solve the problom?

Hi,
I am working with a 24'' monitor in full screen mode (Full HD). Despite that not all download paths are displayed completely (no i have not influence on the paths). For most of them hovering shows the full name in the tooltip wich is not the best solution, but at least it works. But for some of them the tooltip does not contain the full name, too. This is a bug:

I can understand if you say you want to keep it simple, but we want to use piwik for evaluations, which works quite good for pages, but not for downloads. Hovering over each long path is not the most efficient solution in my opinion.

@tfrdidi
Hi tfrdidi,
I changed the Download data imported to "Action-Pages" page instead of download page, and I worked.
the data is displayed by "hierarcical".

@ChrisR1993 Thanks for your time! Is this now part of the 3.0.2-Release? Would you mind updating the status of the ticket?

This was also be improved in the latest beta released today! it would be great if you could test again and let us know if it's improved?
