Search file in folders new implementation

The feature of searching items in indexed folders has been released with SyMenu 2.03.
Some users ask me to make the full path of every found element clearer. It is a right request because more than one files could have the same name and it is really uncomfortable to hover the mouse pointer on every item to know which is its real full path (overing a found element make its information tooltip appears).
Well the solution I'm working on is well illustrated by the attached image. I'm waiting for feedback and suggestions.

I think you are going the right way.
But two things I want to mention: 1) The full path could be really long.... 2) In your picture the path is cut on the right side because the menu is too small.
For now I don't have an idea to solve this.

Yes the full path should be really long but the most important part is often the last one. This is the reason for which I show only the last part. It should be an adequate solution to uniquely recognize almost every file.
I could extend the search menu in width to show longer paths but I would like to try this new feature with the current configuration before.
Well, you will give me feedback when the next version is realeased

In another thread I wrote that maybe the last 2 folders of the path show all relevant data, but the last folders should then be visible and not cut.
Surely I give you feedback!
Do you also use this feature? Who else?

Well I'm not cutting one certain folder but I'm cutting path longer than a certain number of chars.
So that if your path is something like: c:\music\mp3\rock\muse\cd1 SyMenu will show you the entire path.
I'm not in beta testing phase yet so that I'm the only human beeing on the world that are currently using this new feature

I think searching files in a really good and handsome feature in SyMenu.

Hi, the menu for the search-results is a bit narrow - sometimes (often) the filename is truncated. I use very "talking" filenames.
Maybe its possible to make the menu static wider or dynamically if needed.

Now with the possibility to open folders from SyMenu directly in TotalCommander I often have the situation that the name in the search result list is truncated.
Is it possible to make the width dynamic (depending on the widest item)?
