+/** Transform file names in a list to be shorter.
+ *
+ * This function takes a list of file names (probably with absolute paths), and
+ * transforms the paths such that they are short but still unique. This is intended
+ * for dialogs which present the file list to the user, where the base name may result
+ * in duplicates (showing the full path might be inappropriate).
+ *
+ * The algorthm strips the common prefix (e-g. the user's home directory) and
+ * replaces the longest common substring with an ellipsis ("...").
+ *
+ * @param file_names @array{length=num} The list of strings to process.
+ * @param num The number of strings contained in @a file_names. Can be 0 if it's terminated by @c NULL.
</pre>
<p>g_malloc() doesn't accept 0 (returns NULL) so I don't think such 0-sized array (0 elemets and not NULL-terminated) can ever exist.</p>
