Format paths to be shorter (truncated), as some shells support

Help & Support

Some shells (zsh, oh my posh) have the feature to shorten how paths are displayed so that long paths are easier to display and grap. See Path | Oh My Posh.

Unique

Works like letter, but will make sure every folder name is the shortest unique value. The uniqueness refers to the displayed path, so C:\dev\dev\dev\development will be displayed as C\d\de\dev\development (instead of C\d\d\d\development for Letter).

I can imagine that this could be helpful in DirectoryOpus. A path-formatter like { filepath|short-unique } would be nice, as in { modifieddate|yyyy } to shorten columns like Location in search results. I guess it'd be also be possible to implement that using Evaluator Columns [Directory Opus Manual], right?

What do you think?

You already have some control via Preferences / File Display Columns / Appearance and Truncate.
