No, there is currently no way of doing that, but I think this is a good idea though. I would like to request this feature along with you. Thanks!

Hi Colin, Ryan

Ironically the first incarnation of Unity displayed the files differently than apps. With the file name and path on the right side of the icon (ala what the gwibber lens currently does). You could even click the parent dir name like a hyperlink to open it.

I've been trying to push for some more work on the renderers this cycle ('renderer' is the unity specific term relevant here. Each lens can select a given renderer for each of their categories). Unfortunately we haven't been able to free up developer time for this.

I don't know exactly what made us change this original layout, but I do recall that it was intentional. Perhaps someone can fill me in on the background...

Cheers,
Mikkel

Is there a plan to show file and folder paths in the lenses?  I am
sure I am not the only one to have multiple files and folders of the
same name in different paths.  In the Dash lenses there seems to be no
way of identifying which one is which.  Or perhaps it is so obvious
that I am missing it.
