If I insert a file in a container field and only store a reference to the
file
Then the file name is displayed and not the whole path to the file.
Did I miss something or is that the way it is?
FM obviously knows the path because a double click will open the file.

That's the way it is.

this will show the paths, which of course can be parsed for file name etc.
