Disambiguate buffer names #29
Conversation
We keep track of buffer `head` and `tail`, which is basically the directory and basename. We start off with just the `tail` as the buffer `name`. If there are multiple occurrences of the same `name`, we prepend `tail` with the last element from `head`. We keep using more and more elements from `head` until all buffer names are unique. New buffers are not included in the disambiguate process.

Just tested this and it works perfect 👍 it is just that the update grows too long and the code is not that readable. Maybe we can at least break these additions into functions to that we can then more easily refactor them, what do you think @chunkhang?
Sure, I'll do that. However, after this, we should really be looking at reworking how we store and manage the existing buffer list. Using the right approach should solve #24. |
totally 👍 |

@chunkhang I have created a separate issue for the refactor #32, so let's not block this feature and merge it right away. |
