Show path / parent folder to distinguish files

[tbsbdr]

Userstory:

• As a user who has searched for, shared, faved or deleted files with exactly the same names, I want to do be able to distinguish files/folders with the same name.

Acceptance criteria

• containing / parent folder shown underneath resource name in following views:
  • search result page ✓
  • search quick results / result preview (live preview during search input) ✓
  • not sure yet (test and check back with PM/PO): (favorites ✓), shared with me, shared with others, shared via link, trashbin
• show tooltip with full path on hover of the file name in following views:
  • favorites
  • shared with me
  • shared with others
  • shared via link
  • trashbin
• show full path in sidebar details (all views)

Research outcome for full history/context

Usecase applies to:

1. • Search for files
2. • look up files in the trashbin
3. • shared with others
4. • favorites

The problem

If 2 files / folders with the same name got shared, it's not possible to distinguish them easily in the shared with view:

Possible solutions - to be discussed

1: Tooltip

as in oc classic + WEB Favorites

2: Path in front of the filename

... as it is now displayed for favorites + tooltip

Problem: long paths and filename get truncated

3. Path below Filename

Box does it like that for its favorites and search results; looks quite nice but is not easy to hit with the mouse pointer and touch devices (Target size). If we prefer this solution, we might offer the path info in the details view to provide an accessible way to those infos.

4: Show "Path" in right sidebar file-details

Show the path in the right sidebar file details

5: New Column "Path"

• resizable: extra column that needs to be resizable.
• horizontal scrolling: resizable columns would also result in horizontal scrolling of the fileslist-view
• Search result page: A "Path" column would also be required for a comprehensive search result page and partly for a trashbin, that may holds deleted files from different spaces.

Please note that this is currently blocked by owncloud/ocis#2462 - oCIS doesn't give us proper path information at the moment.
