>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.0-M1, 1.0-M2, 1.0-M3
>            Reporter: Andrea Francia
>            Assignee: Niklas Gustavsson

> I don't know that this issue could be solved, due the fact that is part of 
> the API and there is some people already using the library.
>     /**
>      * Get the fully qualified name.
>      */
>     String getFullName();
>     /**
>      * Get the file short name.
>      */
>     String getShortName();
> The terms "full name" or "short name" are not used in none standard library 
> that I know.
> For the former the terms used are "path", "absolute path", "full path"
> See 
>  - http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/io/File.html#getAbsolutePath()
>  - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathname
> For the latter the used are "basename" or "name". The term shorname recall 
> the short name of the vfat file system.
> Usually "fully qualified names" terminology is not used in about file paths.
> I propose:
>     /**
>      * Get the full path from the base directory of the FileSystemView.
>      * @return a path where the path separator is '/' (even if O.S. uses 
> another character as path separator).
>      */
>     String getFullPath();
>     /**
>      * Get the file name (basename) of the file
>      * @return the last part of the file path (the part after the last '/').
>      */
>     String getName();
