    Description

      Projects within  folders are always displayed with the Folder's path as a prefix, which sometimes defeat the purpose of carefully choosing "display names" for projects and make projects lists more difficult to read.

      Suggestion: add a new optional parameter in the folder's configuration, allowing to skip the folder's name when displaying embedded projects names. The parameter's value would default to false, allowing full backward compatibility with previous versions of the plugin.

      This would easily allow a greater flexibility in the way folders display their projects names, e.g. the same project – Ancestor/Parent/proj – being displayed depending on the parameter settings of folders Ancestor and Parent:

      Ancestor >> Parent >> proj
Parent >> proj
Ancestor >> proj
proj

            Description The Folder plugins is great for organizing projects in a sensible way. 

            However, once projects have been moved into Folders, they seem to be always displayed with their *Folder's path* as a prefix, which defeats the purpose of carefully choosing "display names".

            An option to use "_relative_" or "_local_" names rather than "absolute" ones would be very useful and would allow to use jobs from folders within other types of views (BuildMonitor, DashBoard, etc).

            Thanks for this plugin anyway !             		Projects within  folders are always displayed with the *Folder's path* as a prefix, which sometimes defeat the purpose of carefully choosing "display names" for projects and make projects lists more difficult to read.

            Ancestor >> Parent >> proj
            Parent >> proj
            Ancestor >> proj
            proj{code}
