Question

When using mini.starter and then open mini.files with MiniFiles.open(vim.api.nvim_buf_get_name(0)) the path will be not valid since it will be opening <project-path>/Starter. I've been trying to check the path first but still no luck. I'm also jump around using telescope search files from kickstart.nvim and when using MiniFiles.get_latest_path() it still opening the 'root' working directory. Is there a way to fix it when open mini.files while on mini.starter buffer?

This is by design as buffer in 'mini.starter' doesn't represent an actual file on disk. See #485 for more details.

Ah, I keep checking the discussion but forgot to check the issue. Thanks for the fast response. ❤️

[echasnovski]

Yeah, that's a bit of a problem I don't have a good answer to right now :(

@echasnovski cant we make mini files, fallback to current dir search if we are in Starter buf type?

[echasnovski]

This type of customization is suggested to be done on user side. So something like this: MiniFiles.open(vim.bo.filetype == 'ministarter' and vim.fn.getcwd() or vim.api.nvim_buf_get_name(0)).
