Note the two identical shortcuts that are different paths.

This seems like a trivial patch for someone familiar with the code.  The file picker allows you to add shortcuts (places) to folders.  However, it only shows you the last folder name of a full path.  If you create a shortcut for /u2/tmp and /u/tmp and /tmp , they all appear as shortcut tmp.  When hovering the mouse over the shortcuts, the full path should appear.

Related, the [ - ] [ + ] buttons do not have tooltips.

Screen shot shows the result of two similar shortcuts added to the file picker.

Thanks for reporting.

I mark this as a valid NEW request.

To open these dialogs you need to enable the save/load dialogs of LibreOffice itself. This can be done by:
* Open LibreOffice
* Tools > Options
* LibreOffice > General
* Check 'Use LibreOffice dialogs'

Kind regards,
Joren

Andreas, could you please test if it is solved on Linux?
See my screenshot

It seems it is not working on

Atm, I have no idea why this does not work on Linux.

Unfortunately, I can not debug this function on a Linux System.

Maybe someone else is able to solve this issue on linux. Sry.

> Which tooltip should we add for the [ + ] and [ - ] buttons?
My suggestions:
   [ + ] Add current folder to Places
   [ - ] Remove selected folder from Places

https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/134357

In relation to the OP: can verify that tooltips now appear and full path names are shown when the mouse hovers over the entries in Places. 
Thanks for a useful improvement!
