display full path option honoring universally across u

Display Full Path option - Honoring universally across the U

When we choose to see the Full Path in folder window titles, it should be honored in the File Transfer, File Replace, and all the other file operation dialogs as well.
As it is, the current filename-only behavior in those dialogs results in stupid questions such as, Which version of File.Etc would you like to keep, the one in Favorites or the one in Favorites?
or, Copying SaveFileA from SavedGames to SavedGames...
Please.

It should be... but then dialog boxes would have to be huuugggee to accomodate this - and most of the time, you know if you're transferring "hello.doc" from folder "Hello" to "Goodbye"... so all it needs to say is "Transferring hello.doc - From Hello to Goodbye"

What is he referring to Zack, that Bread Crumb menus should be implemented in Dialogue boxes? If so, I agree that it should be in certain places such as Open, Save dialogue boxes. -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta FAQ for MS AntiSpy http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm

No... I see I must illustrate with a scenario;
I was just manually copying my Favorites over from a backup folder this afternoon, and of course the folders both had the same name although in different paths, thus the File Copy dialog box said, Copying FooBar from Favorites to Favorites...
and whenever it encountered a file with the same name already existing on the destination folder, it asked, Would you like to keep the version in Favorites or Favorites?
so
I had to temporarily rename the source folder to Favorites.old
This sort of situation occurs very often, so it would be nice if it expanded the message to a full path (and if it gets too long to fit on the dialog then it could just trim the middle out, like "C:\Users\...\Favorites\")
