Title:
Dash file search doesn't provide sufficient information to distinguish
between files with the same name
Status in Ayatana Design:
New
Status in Unity:
Incomplete
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
If a Dash search returns multiple files with the same name, there is
no way to determine which is the one you actually wanted (short of
opening each one in turn, or selecting "Show in Folder" from each
Preview).
To solve this, it should be possible to find out the full path of each
file, or at least the name of its containing directory, without
leaving the Dash. Ideally this would be possible without having to
make any additional clicks, for example the currently highlighted file
could have its (truncated) path displayed, rather than just its
filename. Alternatively (or additionally) the Preview for each file
could show its full path.
