Alternative approach

Better to replace this code in app.js

            t.prototype.getDisplayText = function() {
                return this.file ? this.file.basename : im.interface.noFile()
            }

with something like

            t.prototype.getDisplayText = function() {
    			      // return this.file ? this.file.basename : im.interface.noFile()
                if (!this.file) {
                    return im.interface.noFile();
                }

                return this.file.path.split('/').slice(-2).join('/')
            }

But I don't know how to patch Electron app :man_shrugging:
