When updating a briefcase, the right-click menu only offers a "Details"
option if an existing file is to be updated - it does not offer this option
if the file in the sync location is new.
Very unfortunately, only a few (~10) characters of the file name are shown
on the LHS, if the names of new files are longer than this and vary at the rh
end (e.g. by some revision code) one cannot distinguish between them at all.
Even when "Details" are available, it is a retrograde step to stop the user
seeing a full file name and instead to require them to right-click and select
details and then dismiss the info afterwards.
The prominence given to the sync path over the actual filename is
inappropriate.
Please revise the Briefcase UI.
