[Bug 882570] Re: dash file search: no indication about paths

[Paul Matthijsse]

Martin,

Thanks for your time to start with.

To reproduce this problem, one needs two files with the same name on the
pc. This is the case when one rsync's certain directories to another
drive.

"Use dash to search for a file": 
-- click on the Dash home button on the left side of the screen or hit the Super key on the keyboard
-- type in the Search field the first two letters of a file name
-- because I have backups of my files on another drive, two files are suggested. 

Here is where the problem starts, as I can't find out which one is the
original and which one is the backup.

Title:
  dash file search: no indication about paths

Status in “dash” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have backup files on a second drive in my pc. When I use dash to
  search for a file, it always shows two entries of a certain file, one
  in say /home/paul/work, the other in /media/hd250/backup. It happend
  to me several times the last days that I discovered that I was working
  on an backup file. In case of a file with lots of passwords, this is
  really a very bad thing.

  So show up the path of the file somewhere, or add a filter that only
  shows results from this_drive or that_drive or both drives.

  Regards, Paul.
