Comment 19 for bug 1022934

Good point.

I have pushed a revision to
lp:~jeremywootten/pantheon-files/fix-1022934<https://code.launchpad.net/~jeremywootten/pantheon-files/fix-1022934>
with
a compromise solution showing only the part of the path that will be
created rather than the full path (prefixed with .../).

If someone wants to create a directory with a very long name then this
could be a problem even if only the directory name is shown (if you want to
use the Granite Welcome Screen rather than a custom one).

It still feels better to me to show exactly what is being created rather
than just the last folder.
