Short Gmail Labels Extension

Nesting gmail labels results in an unnecessarily long display that includes both parent and child labels. This will trim down the label names so you only see the child.

Stefanie Somers (ID: 000000e117ba4e1a) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/03/2023 I really need this to work... ..and it's only meh. Dang it. I have a deep label structure that's very frustrating to work with, as many as 4 or 5 layers. In some places this extension will perfectly pluck the correct text - the last bit after the final "/" and display that. In some cases it brings along the preceding "xxxx/" with it. In nearly all cases the label/folder above the final one is unaffected, and displays the entire string. Nearly. But not all. Inconsistent. More like 2-1/2 stars really. If this worked consistently and correctly I'd happily pay for it - this issue has been a thorn in my side with Gmail from day one. Fix it and send me a bill!

Carlos (ID: 000000b6cf7edbab) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/19/2022 Works amazing. Super recommended! PS. Any chance you allow the extension to ALWYS show labels? I want to see the label even when browsing that label's emails (instead of them disappearing which is Gmail's default behavior)...that would be so great. Thank you!

Luke Hagenbach (ID: 000000de7719e515) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/27/2022 The extension does not work for me. It is grayed out when attempting to select it to tweak options. Potential conflict with another extension? Who knows, but I'm not about to deactivate every single other extension to troubleshoot it.

Kayla Carter (ID: 000000447d8a4673) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/05/2021 I've used this extension for years with absolutely no problem, and I love it! Turns those hideously long labels into short, concise things! However, as of today, 8/4/2021, suddenly there is an issue. Most of the labels are still loading correctly, but on some of them, it has: 72.png loading="lazy"> before what would normally be the shortened-version of the label name. It just happened sort of suddenly and out of nowhere, and it's only a few of the labels it's displaying wrong, but I'm unsure of how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I don't want to have to stop using this extension because the aesthetic of it is ruined! (I'm on a Macbook Air & Chrome is up-to-date as of the posting of this review).
