Yes, that's right for sure. I have seen this "smart shorten" behaviour
in other tools and quite often it is implemented in an even more
flexible manner: If you enlargened the progress window the paths would
be re-rendered to make use of the additional space. So, you would still
be able to view the full paths if you resized the window just wide enough.
Nevertheless, I fear, that this "flexible smart shorten" feature will
not be implemented easily in the progress dialog. The file list can grow
quite long for large projects.
Best regards,
Dominik
