[image] Full layer name in object properties - Rhino / Rhino for Windows - McNeel Forum The topic above is from 5 years ago. The problem got worse in Rhino WIP: The status bar does not display full layer names. I’d like to see full layer names for the current layer and selected object layer, no…

Hi Martin, I’m sorry but I disagree on this point. / is a common separator for folders/subfolders, which makes the parent-child relation much more clear. In the below example I find it visually more pleasing to see the / as separator and I find it easier to read. Parent::part 01::sub_01::screws P…

Yes of course it’s a common separator but then why not be consistent and change it in the entire system? I just think it will lead to confusion when people start concatenating layer names with slash separators in Grasshopper.

The :: is a programming thing, and changing that is going to break a lot of existing scripts, so that won’t be a good idea. But the / is visually much better for the majority of users that don’t program.

Well at least the status bar shows full layers. And in real Rhino fashion you would offer choosing a custom separator in the advanced settings.
