Hello! This is my first attempt to contribute something meaningful to this project so I don't know I'm doing it right. Thank you in advance for your feedback.

This adds the following CLI flags:

  • --truncate-owner-after
  • --truncate-owner-marker

And the following configuration fields:

truncate-owner:
  after:
  marker: ""

The default behavior of LSD is unchanged.

The problem this change attempts to solve is the usability of the -l flag on systems where some user or group names are long but cannot be changed (e.g. the user is not admin and the account is managed in a central directory). In such cases, even with a decently sized terminal (90+ characters wide), lines often overflow, making the directory listing hard to read.

Without this change, the only mitigation would consist in turning off the display of file ownership (via the blocks configuration field) which is unsatisfactory because ownership information is very useful.


Default settings (the length of user/group name may seem exaggerated but it's actually the same length as my user/group name on machines I have to use):

lsd_before

With --truncate-owner-after 7 --truncate-owner-marker …:

lsd_after


TODO

  • Use cargo fmt
  • Add necessary tests
  • Add changelog entry
  • Update default config/theme in README (if applicable)
  • Update man page at lsd/doc/lsd.md (if applicable)

This adds the following CLI flags:

- `--truncate-owner-after`
- `--truncate-owner-marker`

And the following configuration fields:

```yaml
truncate-owner:
  after:
  marker: ""
```

The default behavior of LSD is unchanged.
