Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2010-02-12 03:34:29 UTC 
Sometimes you may have many similar items (ex: two items with almost the same filename in the recent items). Showing a tooltip with the full name (and maybe metadata such as file size, last modified time, etc.) when hovering the mouse over them would be nice.

I think showing the full path to file would be very useful too, I often want to open a code file from two different folders, and using search I can't find out which of the two results is the right one.
