The tradition about displaying nice paths on windows does not exist:
So you think that having such functionality is a bad thing for LyX/Win? The only real problem here seems to be the ~ abbreviation.
Well, it is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is not a tradition, and therefore people will find it strange. I think we should go for the second option.
or you ignore the path and just do (like all the Microsoft tools including Office does)
My file.lyx My second file.lyx My third file.lyx
And if there are two different "My file.lyx" with different paths? I'd suggest doing as emacs does in such a case and display
My file.lyx My file.lyx<2>
The convention is to use "My file.lyx (2)", but this is best.
Excel for instance simply disallows opening a second document with the same name, although the path is different. I guess they have found that people mix up and ruin their work when they have two identically named documents open.
