GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 669895
FileChooser's recent items mode should show folder paths

Created attachment 207349 [details] screenshot Take a look at the attached screenshot and think, "what pitivi folder do I want to save in?" It's impossible to know what recently used folder is the right one, unless you manually hover each of them to check the path in the tooltip, which defeats the purpose because I could just as well manually browse the path. What I'm suggesting is this: for the "recently used" view, display not just the folder name, but display something like path_to_folder/folder, where: - path_to_folder is shown in a slightly different "insensitive" color (ex: gray? depends on the gtk theme) in order to keep the final part of the path more visible. - the user's home directory is stripped out from the path... for example, "/home/jeff/dev/pitivi/pitivi/" would show as "~/dev/pitivi/pitivi"
We have a location column for recent files now.
