Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology - I mean the Properties Tab of the Info Panel. I have this displayed pretty much all the time at the bottom of my XY window, so at least for me it has as much room as anything in XY to display a long string.

No, I understood exactly what you meant as I do same (have IP showing)...but some target strings are in excess of 120+ chars...some are 140+, I believe.

To show it in condensed form as Location is shown could be useful in most cases, I agree, so maybe the DOS/Type/Location "block" could move up slightly to make room for it, as there is some gray area under icon/name..

Or it maybe could go to the right of LNK name, above Created, and wrap to second line if needed.
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!
(XP on laptop with touchpad and thus NO mouse!) Using latest beta vers when possible.
