Bug description

In the rich presence on Discord, I see "Editing ?" if I have disabled the option "Show file name".

Expected behavior

The line "Editing x" should be completely hidden if this option is disabled.

How to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to 'Discord Rich Presence' in the Eclipse preferences
  2. Disable 'Show file name' and apply
  3. Go to discord and click on your profile
  4. Witness the error

Additional context

  • Plug-in version: 1.2.0
  • Eclipse IDE version: 2020-03 (4.15.0)

This is actually the expected behavior. As mentioned in the changelog, as of v1.1.3 the "right" way to hide a whole line in Discord is through custom wording (in your case, emptying the Details field should do the trick).

I'd appreciate a feedback about this though. I basically had two choices to handle privacy when I added custom wording:

  1. replace secret variables by "?",
  2. completely hide any field using a secret variable.

I chose the former and updated the default behavior for consistency. I see two approaches to solve your issue:

  1. I can restore the old behavior by hiding the whole Editing x field if Show file name is unchecked and if no custom wording is provided but it feels, well, inconsistent.
  2. I can try to make the preferences page more ergonomic to make clearer that hiding a line requires to specify a custom wording.

What's your opinion on this?

Ohh I didn't know that! Thank you, this fixed my problem ^^
The second option seems to be the better: users can still do whatever they want but Rich Presence noobs like me understand what's going on!

Thanks. I'll do that as soon as possible and leave the issue open until then.
