Any way to have helm-find-files only show file names? (and not the entire path)

helm-find-files shows a list of files with the full path of each file. If I am deep down in a directory, the list can be hard to read. Is there any way to see this list without the full paths behind the file names? (I can always read the path where I am currently in the mini-buffer)

Thanks!

(setq helm-ff-transformer-show-only-basename t)

And during your helm-find-files session, hit `C-]' to toggle full path.

It is now the default (non--nil), so you can remove the

(setq helm-ff-transformer-show-only-basename t)

from your config.
