File Properties... silently truncates the true value e.g. for
C:\Documents and Settings\Chris\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\PPQZDM5R\
displays
C:\Documents and Settings\Chris\Local
This is bad!!
Could it please a) have a much large max length displayed 🕶 show when it truncates e.g. with an ellipsis.
Thanks.

If you hover the mouse over the text a small tooltip will appear that shows the full file path.
Kind regards,

Indeed. But still it would be nice to see a fix to the false information in the dialog.
