Sounds like a good idea, but I wonder if the second line could have more of the 'last part' of the path/filename e.g. ---------------------------------------------- | Finished | | ADFS::HardDisc4.$.Documents.Chris... | | ...Show.Show2009.Wakefield.ToTake | ---------------------------------------------- i.e. both lines having as much of the full path name as space allows I would suggest that an elipses is only used if the two parts don't give the full path. To get round the problem in the past we have edited the relevant template file to give one four or five times wider, but that also looks silly and different versions of the template file was needed for the different versions of the OS we use.
