No overflow indicator.


So I'm running a scan & I can't understand why it's showing files it should not be showing?
And I check this & I check the other &...

Finally I say, "let me add the directory, again".

And it then showed, twice!?

And I'm like what?


I had the same sets of files, within different subdirectories of the same tree.
And (initially) I had set things to not scan subdirectories, but all along, I was not looking at, was not making the setting for, the directory that I thought I was wanting - because there was nothing that clued me in to the fact that I might have been in the wrong place.
(So in that respect, the file names themselves where not an indicator of any issue.)

I wanted \X\ itself.
What I was really getting was \X\Y\, only there was no indication that I was at any \Y\.

It was only once I added \X\ again, & it showed up "twice", & I was like, "how can that be", & then I expanded the width of the column, & it was like, "oh!".

Updated this to add elipsis (...) for path names wider than column.

I suggest that you use an actual ellipsis character (…) rather than the three period characters (...) that you used in your post.
