Hide the directory path i saw from Linux/top

[Kozmograf]

Hello! Every time i play a file, i see that top reports filename with directory path that i would like to hide it.

From:

PID     TIME+     %CPU    %MEM    USER     RES      COMMAND

To:

PID     TIME+     %CPU    %MEM    USER     RES      COMMAND

How can i stop or hide it from appearing?

Press c inside top. This isn't a mpv question

[Kozmograf]

I am aware the "c" on top shortens it, but i wanted to know if there is a command where mpv would read the filename while hiding the path destination? I mean something similar to title=${media-title}. Where 3rd monitoring tools fail to read the full destination of a file.

No, that has nothing to do with mpv. That is the command you used to run mpv, it's not in mpv's control.

You can edit your mpv.desktop to open files with helper script to open as relative. Change here:

mpv/etc/mpv.desktop

Line 44 in bcde6b9

Exec=mpv --player-operation-mode=pseudo-gui -- %U

Thanks kasper93. Impossible to avoid displaying full path with some preliminary mpv tags interventions.

However, I am giving up. Other KDE applications, ie Gwenview also show full path, so it's pointless to avoid it just for mpv. Maybe it should be viewed differently in terms of user or system modification.

Thank you for posting, and Apologize for taking up your time. I'll end it here.
