Is there a way to hide the parent directory in the filebrowser?

Specifically, I am trying to get Rofi to look like the pictures shown on the Dynamic Theme page of the Rofi documentation.

Here are the images for easy reference:

However, when I copy the theme directly from the page and run the command below, there is an additional arrow showing the parent directory. empty.rasi is an empty configuration file.

Command:

rofi -theme fullscreen-preview.rasi -show filebrowser -config empty.rasi

Result:

Command:

PREVIEW=true rofi -theme fullscreen-preview.rasi -show filebrowser -config empty.rasi

Result:

There is currently no way to remove the 'directory up' arrow.. ( I think I scrolled down when taking the picture, to get a nice set of images).

A 'directory up' is kinda a standard feature of a file browser 😄

I see, would you be open to adding a configuration option to hide the parent directory?

I'm mainly using the file browser as a wallpaper picker with the directory already set, just like the dynamic theme example, so the parent directory option isn't necessary.

A configuration option similar to rofi-file-browser-extended's hide-parent option would be great.

yeah, not sure when I will get around it. I have very little time atm to work on rofi.

That's great! No worries, I might be able to submit a pull request.
