Feature Request: New Setting " [#] last char of path"

Very helpfull tool!

When working with lengthy file paths, the current display often hides useful content in the "Path" column.
I'd suggest to add another option to the settings (infact two of them)

New Options

[#]  "Last char of path always displayed" 
[x]  "Suppress filename in path"

How it's meant to work:

Option [#] "Last char of path always displayed"

set to: [0] "Last char of path always displayed"
... is equivalent to the actual behaviour.

| Path                                  |
| D:\HN\dev\Smart\Superclue\v1\pipe\imp |
| D:\HN\dev\Smart\Superclue\v1\pipe\imp |
| D:\HN\dev\Smart\Superclue\v1\pipe\imp |

set to: [20] "Last char of path always displayed"
... would look something like this:

| Path                                  |
| D:\HN\dev\Sma...d\Klett.V3.2\execute\ |
| D:\HN\dev\Sma...d\Klett.V3.2\execute\ |
| D:\HN\dev\Sma...quid\Klett.V3.2\test\ |
| D:\HN\dev\Sma...tt.V3.2\execute\.arc\ |

Option [x] "Suppress filename in path"

set to: [ ] "Suppress filename in path"
... is equivalent to the actual behaviour.

| Name           | Path                                  |
| MySettings.cfg | D:\HN\dev\MySeetings.cfg              |

set to: [x] "Suppress filename in path"
... would look like this:

| Name           | Path                                  |
| MySettings.cfg | D:\HN\dev\                            |

The "Supress filename in path" setting follows somewhat naturally out of the "Last char of path always displayed" option, I guess.

Thanks in advance for considering.
