Done Full path with short names

[Emilio III]

It would be nice if dir /fx would use short names in the full path rather than just the final directory.

Actually, this looks like a bug... from DIR in the help file

/F Display each filename with its drive letter and path in a single column, without other information. If you use /F with /X, the "short" version of the entire path is displayed.

@rconn @Charles Dye Does this need to be moved to the Support forum as a bug report or will it be noticed from here?
