#6 Display more information about data for individual cell in t
It is common practice for files to share the same name
but use directory information to disambiguite them, for
example:
/data/session1/subj1/W999999_99.nii
/data/session2/subj1/W999999_99.nii
In the current data input spreadsheet for file-based
data, only the filename is shown, making it difficult
to determine whether the correct data is used.
This is complicated by the fact that some Windowing
System (e.g. Motif) will not show which directory the
file is when you click to open the file open dialog again.
Solutions
The obvious temporary workaround is to use unique
filename, e.g., W999999_99_s1.nii and W999999_99_s2.nii
Display a tooltip where the full path (or other
information) can be shown to the user.
Uncertainty
Should this problem be solved via technological means?
The workaround is a perfectly good solution.
The display tooltip solution might requires deep dive
into SWT toolkit as I am unsure whether a tooltip
feature is provided by the standard SWT TableViewer

Eclipse 3.2 allow tooltip display with
TableColumn.setTooptip(String).
