I've used ffs in the past and don't recall this issue. Now using latest version (11.22), I see a number of inconsistencies in the "relative path" display:
See image here:
On left side, the "site-packages python-lib" is squashed, and is showing the later folder first (site-packages) which is quite disorientating. Sometimes the path takes up it's own line and sometimes it doesn't?
Maybe this layout is a new feature? Is there a way to simply show the path on its own single line consistently?
Thanks

The question is, what is more important, consistency or showing more information? FFS decides for the latter (on the left).

Since you asked, I maintain a patch that adds two options to the list of views: Traditional, and Trad. Relative. To use this patch, you have to be able to compile FreeFileSync from source. link to patch

When was this new layout introduced?

I think that was version 10.25 that introduced the new layout. My patch used to indicate which version it was that last had the "traditional" view.

Why for the first folder shown it does not have it's own line (python\lib\site-packages) (on the left side), but for the others, they have their own line?
