orion.eclipse.org 0.2.0.v20110929-2021 The Navigator used to display "[Your User Name]/" as the top-level breadcrumb item. Now it displays "Navigator Root/". Was this a conscious decision or an accident? I preferred the having my user name there...
that sounds like a bug, there may still be code that defaults to "navigator root" if nothing else is set. I'll look at it.
fixed with b4004822858a0fdf97622824b9806f10534f3bfd Somewhere along the line we lost the code in globalCommands that cached the user name when getting credentials. Most of this behavior has been moved into the LoginDialog widget, so I added the caching code there.
This might have been intentional. This doesn't work for an OpenID login. In this case the user name is something like: https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id?id=AItOawmUjTbNFvPVJWoeDEBKrshmQrCIxzIuWeA
I also wonder if a hyperlink to my user name is intuitively my "root folder". I guess this idea comes from github, but in that case the root has more user profile information (followers, member since, etc).
when we have multiple file services (with potentially different logins) this could get more confusing. But I do not like "Navigator Root" either. for now I will change it to "Navigator" and we can think about more long term niceties in bug 349531.

Actually, it looked really dumb to see Navigator Navigator in the page heading. I tried all kinds of cool ideas for the root. / (root) folders etc. They all had problems, so for now I've gone back to "root" even though that seems bogus, too. I kept the code that caches the user name because as long as we keep the user service around, we should make sure it works.

For users logged in via OpenID the initial name in their profiles is something like https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id?id=AItOawmUjTbNFvPVJWoeDEBKrshmQrCIxzIuWeA. And the name used to be displayed in breadcrumbs. Users may change it later for something human-readable. What I would suggest is to not populate the name in the profile for OpenID logins. The user would have to enter it manually. Then if the name is set, we would display it. If not, we would just display "You", "Root" etc. So for profiles with names it would be: Susan/myFolder/a.txt, for profiles without it: You/myFolder/a.txt. Susan, do we have a bug for further work on it?
(In reply to comment #7) > Susan, do we have a bug for further work on it? Bug 349531 is where I'd like to clean up the way we populate breadcrumbs, set page "current location" etc. and make things more semantic. But I think you should open a separate bug for having a readable user name in the profile, etc., and then we can decide if we want to use that in the breadcrumb root.
