Bug Description

In the "Conflict While Copying" dialog in Nautilus I'm not always able to tell
what file I'm trying to overwrite. It's because the dialog tries to save space
by not printing the whole path to the file. For example
"/home/username/documents/docement.pdf" becomes "/home/user...cement.pdf". It's
not always clear which file this is. In a situation one would try to copy a lot
of files at once (f.x. directories) this would be very problematic.
