Perhaps we should split this into two fields:-

File
Location

Rather than have the full path and filename in one field. Maybe also wrapping rather than truncating the location might be useful?

I guess a 'location' field should not show the file name at all.
In case the location is too long, we could wrap the string in the following line.

IMHO a question may be:
Do we need to show the file name in the 'details' page? Isn't it an information that an user already knows?

I'm anyway okay with adding a separate field for the file name.

In this particular case the filename was unknown to me because it was also only partially visible in Dekko. I think users can also simply forget the name of the file they opened some time ago.

Yeah, sure! Indeed I'm okay with keep the file name visible in the page. :)

I'm discussing about the relevance of that information.
I'm also thinking about adding a subtitle to the header, showing the file name with a smaller font (textSize: Label.Small).

@popey: do we want to listen to some opinion from UX team?
