[Bug]: Activity panel tooltip shows file name instead of containing folder #50548
Description
⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️
- This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
- This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
- Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
- I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.
Bug description
In recent Nextcloud versions, the tooltip behavior in the activity panel (located at instance.url/index.php/apps/activity/all) has changed. When hovering over an edited file, the tooltip now displays "in [filename]" instead of showing the containing folder as it did in previous versions. I don't know how long exactly this behavior has persisted, only that it used to be different to now.
- Navigate to the activity panel (instance.url/index.php/apps/activity/all)
- Locate an entry for an edited file
- Hover over the file name
Steps to reproduce
- Navigate to the activity panel (instance.url/index.php/apps/activity/all)
- Locate an entry for an edited file
- Hover over the file name
Expected behavior
Expected behavior
The tooltip should display the path or name of the containing folder.
Actual behavior
The tooltip shows "in [filename]", which is redundant and less helpful. ;)
Impact
This change reduces the usefulness of the tooltip, as I have to click the filename to see where it is actually located. We have many files named the same in different projects. Displaying the containing folder is more fun.

Additional info
I am a user of this instance, not an admin, thus, I have no idea about the installation routine used and about the versions and such.
The only thing remotely close to this bug report is this feature request, which is not exactly the same as what I am reporting, because I am reporting a lost functionality: https://help.nextcloud.com/t/activity-log-shows-only-filename-not-path-to-file/43189
I regard this as a bug, because saying "file is contained in file" doesnt make half as much sense as "file is contained in dir/subdir".
