Summary0014089: Breadcrumbs truncated suboptimally for small screens
DescriptionIf the screen size is not wide enough to display all of the breadcrumbs, MM takes the approach of removing the Collection, and presumably items to the right of it. e.g.

Home > Music > Genres > Classic Rock
becomes
Home > Genres > Classic Rock

MM shouldn't truncate the Collection first, since it:
a) Is regularly used by users to switch back
b) Is more informational than 'Genres'
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in build2296

How do you think the order of removal should be? In the example, should it be

3 2 1 4

(where 1 means removed first)? I suppose that 'Classic Rock' should stay as long as possible and also 'Home' should be there for long.

Yes--exactly as you wrote.

where user is confused why some items are missing, I guess there should be something like:
Home > ... > Genres > Classic Rock
to eliminate the confusion why some items are missing.
Or maybe use a fadeout shadow ?

I didn't test breadcrumbs in all views, but noticed that in the Music > Locations view that '...' appears often at the beginning of a directory name even when the directory isn't being truncated. e.g.

Music > Location > D: > My Documents > Temp > ... dl >
In this case no directories are hidden or truncated, yet '...' still appears. Note, however, that it doesn't always appear; it appears when navigating deeper into the directory structure, but not when navigating back up.

Music > Location > ... dl > ... Queens of the stone age >
In this case, several directories are truncated (between /Location and /dl), so it should be listed as Music > Location > ... > dl (i.e. note the additional '>')
and Queens of the stone age isn't truncated, so it shouldn't be prefaced with ...
 i.e. it should appear as Music > Location > ... > dl > Queens of the stone age >

I noticed in 2220 that this issue isn't totally fixed. If the user enables 'Display folder content recursively' then the breadcrumb directories don't display according to the new scheme.

I'm not sure i understand ... when 'Display folder content recursively' is enabled, last path part is always visible in breadcrumbs.

There's a regression in this functionality that makes it quite difficult to navigate 'Up' a level, as MM no longer displays the last two nodes in the breadcrumbs--whether recursive view is enabled or not). This is most annoying in Folder/Locations nodes. This was fixed previously at 0014575 and 0014089:0055912 (for recursive mode). See the regression in the current build (tested 2291) here:
https://www.screencast.com/t/LltZ9E4m

MM should display the last 2 entries as in earlier builds. Additionally, it would make sense that clicking the '...' in the breadcrumb can navigate to one level up.

On 2293:
1) ... is placed to high, not in line with other text
2) Clicking ... opens a menu with the sub-nodes for the parent node (not sure if this is intended based on Rusty's feedback)
3) The Toast showing full Path could be used as clickable navigation (not urgent, for 5.0.1)

Triaging back to 5.0 since the breadcrumb content is incorrect--it shows the break in the path at the wrong location. See the attached image.
