When deleting a file, the file path is sometimes too long to fit in the title of the dialog.

Proposal: Show the filename also in the dialog text

Hi Oliver,

I have looked into this issue and come up with several solutions to improve the UI.

  1. Delete the file path in the dialog title and replace it with "Delete File". Add the full file path in the text.

Add file name to text

  1. In the dialog title, replace the full file path with only the file name, and add the full file path in the text.

Add only file name in title

  1. Just like you suggested in the description, we can keep the file path in the title and add it to the text.

Only add file path in text

Personally, I prefer the second solution as it's neater, but I'd love to know what you think.

My solution is that instead of absolute file path, only the file name is showed in the dialog title. The file's absolute path is added in the dialog text.
