Comment (by yourpalal):
I've attached a screenshot of the window, with my current patch applied.
Basically the strategy is:
* if possible, show both the full destination and full status message
* if that is not possible, show the abbreviated message
* If needed, truncate the destination with B_TRUNCATE_MIDDLE
The reason I chose this is that truncating the status message would make
it basically unreadable, and probably offer little space savings. The
destination is truncated in the middle, as I believe that is the standard
behavior for truncating paths. I haven't done it yet, but I think the
window might as well be a bit wider, so I will do that too, but the basics
of the patch will stay the same.
Furthermore, I like the idea of adding a tooltip, and I did a bit of
refactoring with that in mind, but I want to open a separate ticket for
that.
