I have just upgraded to Trusty and this problem still doesn't seem to have been fixed, or even assigned to someone.

It seems a fundamental problem to me. Even without the duplicated name problem, its pretty important to be able to see a file path to know where is it located. The only way at the moment is to open it and then do save as to see its path. A mouse over popping up the path would seem the obvious solut

Still no action on this? I just tried the Saucy beta 2 and it's not been fixed. I was really hoping it would get addressed soon - it renders the "files" lense pretty much useless to me. Given more time and knowledge I'd try to address it myself, but as it is all I can offer is to help with testing

Is this bug still being looked at? I see no activity since October 2012.

I can confirm this problem. especially for pictures taken by a camera. They are all named "PICx.jpg" or something like that. But one can't see in which folder it is located. Maybe a tooltip (when hovering the search result) would be a solution even if this is not the best one. -- You receive

Suggestion (1) wouldn't be very helpful when there are more than two or three duplicates.
