Description toni1elias@outlook.com 2025-10-10 15:46:39 UTC
Description:
When I open a password protected file, I get a prompt.

I believe it would be better to hide the file's path in the password prompt.

You can maybe add a hyperlink that is titled "File path" that will show the path when clicked or hide the path altogether.

Steps to Reproduce:
Open a password protected file.

Actual Results:
A long ugly path shows up in the password prompt.

Expected Results:
I believe it would be better to hide the file's path in the password prompt.

You can maybe add a hyperlink that is titled "File path" that will show the path when clicked or hide the path altogether.


Reproducible: Always

Yes, seems to be unnecessary. I confirm the bug, the file name could be enough.

Lets take another opinion from UX TEAM.

UX Team -- please take a look at this enhancement. Thanks!

Devansh has been working on this for the duplicate bug 132007 but apparently abandoned the patch.

I was focused on GSoC Basic IDE but today I have been testing to make the UI dynamically to place correct message in UI will push the changes tomorrow :)
