Bug Description

Hi,

1. hit C-S in unchanged file

Current Behaviour:
The status bar shows: No changes need to be saved.
Expected behaviour
The status bar should show: No changes to filename.xyz need to be saved.

The same goes for hitting C-S in a changed file.

Not sure it's necessary to show the file name if no save occurs (the GIMP doesn't).

Hi,
the problem is, that i do not use window decoration and therefore have no titlebar which tells me the current filename.
This is probably not very common and therefore a corner case.

Since the default paths for open/save dialogs no longer respect the current working directory I also miss a way to display the complete filename for the current drawing - especially before or without saving. I have several times misplaced a file I had opened from the 'Open recent…' list and saved as copy to the wrong directory of a previous unrelated 'save a copy' because I could not see the original path of the open drawing (my intention was to store a backup or intermediary copy in the same folder as the original).

A keyboard shortcut to display current filename and path in the status line would be useful - independent of window decoration or not ;-) (or is there a another way I just haven't yet discovered?)
