Output format

[WscriChy]

Is it possible or is it planned to change the output format of the plugin.

Example:

Now I have each line like <buffer number> <some flags> <path>/<filename> (<time>)

Is it possible to change this patter, for example, to [<filename>] <path> ?

Thanks,

[Shougo]

You can change output format by unite-filters.
:help unite-filters

[WscriChy]

As I understood unite-filters controls content of search. Am I wrong?
But I am talking about changing the view of the records in the output list.

[Shougo]

No.
unite-filters can change candidates abbr. It is not only to control contents of search.
So you can change output format.

[WscriChy]

Any hints or small example, please?

[Shougo]

It is converter_file_directory in autoload/unite/filters/converter_file_directory.vim. It changes candidates' abbr.

Like this?

let s:filters = {
\   "name" : "my_converter",
\}

function! s:filters.filter(candidates, context)
    for candidate in a:candidates
        let bufname = bufname(candidate.action__buffer_nr)
        let filename = fnamemodify(bufname, ':p:t')
        let path = fnamemodify(bufname, ':p:h')

        " Customize output format.
        let candidate.abbr = printf("[%s] %s", filename, path)
    endfor
    return a:candidates
endfunction

call unite#define_filter(s:filters)
unlet s:filters


call unite#custom#source('buffer', 'converters', 'my_converter')

[Shougo]

Yes.

Great! Thanks.

@osyo-manga, after a year, your code is useful for me too! Just wanted to say thank you!
