@searleser97 FYI: The current build of frecency supports path_display. :Telescope frecency path_display={'smart'} should work, for example.

Sorry, this issue means that the default setting of telescope.nvim is ignored in some pickers (like frecency).

telescope.setup {
  defaults = { path_display = { "shorten" } },
}

" This is shorten
:Telescope frecency path_display={"shorten"}

" But this is NOT shorten
:Telescope frecency

I will fix this.

I think it also doesn't work with this other plugin https://github.com/smartpde/telescope-recent-files so you guys can test with a plugin where it doesn't work

I fixed this for git_status but for extensions, they will have to add support for it themselves.
It should be just a one line change to add support for it.
