Obfuscate leaves configuration header out

There is an important place which is not obfuscated: the header of the Configuration window. The path could contain user name or other info one doesn't want to show. Moreover, I think, obfuscating the Configuration menu is not a good thing, if you would like to send a screenshot of some settings to someone.

Yep, all agreed.

I am not fully content, that you did more in this topic... You un-obfuscated lists and drop-downs. In my post
here 2 folders of mine appear without being obfuscated, as tooltip texts. It is alarming.

How far should obfuscate go? It's just a little scripting command to help you with screenshots. It was not meant to be a high security tool.

Of course not. But sometimes capturing a screen video is better for showing a problem than a screenshot. Nevermind, I can switch tooltips off in these cases.
But here is a bug: if you use a list of characters as a bullet, the last character won't be used in the process.
It will never use the 9. Try it with "abc" and it will be obvious. And is it a bug that the random characters are always in changing? On hover and on click, they will be generated again and again.

You know I could easily obfuscate all tooltips. But I find it cool that in obfuscated state you can still know what is what by using tooltips, and you can go to other places by using dropdowns.
Yep, tnx for the bug.
Random characters are always in changing: Well, that's just the place (in the flow) where I decided obfuscation should happen. Works for me.

Could not resist
Code: Select all
+ SC obfuscate enhanced: Now you can set a higher obfuscation level.
Syntax: obfuscate [mode], [bullet], [list]
mode: (bit field)
0 = No obfuscation.
1 = Obfuscation of all visible path/file names on the surface.
2 = Obfuscation of all tooltips and dropdowns.
empty: [Default] toggle 0 > 1, or !0 > 0
Example:
obfuscate 3; //thorough obfuscation

You are right, indeed it is good for screenshots. But could be unfortunate in case of a screen video.
I have a reason why I would like to see all lists obfuscated again: when I would like to navigate under obfuscated state, I can set up my secret terms to be obfuscated only like
Code: Select all
obfuscate ,,"myname|myusername|mysecretprojecttitle"
, and these pieces of information would be secured in the drop-downs and tooltips, even during navigation.
Edit: I can see in the meantime you did it, thank you very much.

Good point!

Thanks! Would it be possible that the same command could switch it off too? If I run the command obfuscate 2 or 3, it is not really comfortable to search for an obfuscate; command.

You mean using the same command again should turn it off?
PS: Assuming that I was right I say: Good idea, comes with next beta!

Thanks, you read my mind perfectly.
By the way, I have just realized that mode 3 does obfuscate everything, even the folder properties menu, and the right click on list header (except for the Name column). Wow. You were no kidding.
