Is there any way to make it such that the item in the Navigation Bar (in this case, “10th Wedding”) is the full text of the node? Obviously we’d run into some kind of eventual truncation, but the existing logic seems to aggressively drop portions of the node’s contents after the first space.
This is intended, but I guess could be relaxed, not sure.
The goal is to create breadcrumbs, reminders of where you are, not reproduce the full content.
For me this works much better with a path of similar length segments. It’s easier to visually parse. Easier to see the structure you are in when the segment lengths are normalized. On the other hand if I try to just fit as much as possible, then the structure can be obscured by different length segments.
I think for now I’m not going to think about changing, but in next Bike release I hope to have first round of navigation implemented, so please try that and request this again if you still want.

That seems very reasonable. Thanks!
Here’s a start of what I’m thinking navigation bar will turn into:
Note: This isn’t final look (and just a test app for playing with layouts)
Important points:
- Navigation is part of window title, it’s always on
- When sidebar is hidden navigation takes up minimal space
- When sidebar is showing navigation fits in with glass UI. I expect in this case navigation controls and text will be lifted up into a glass layer.
