Show current folder in verification windows #56

When a hashfile is verified, only relative paths are shown - which is nice. But I think there should be one line stating what is the root of the current subtree that is checked. If you check similar files on different drives it is sometimes hard to find out which verification belongs to which folder/drive.

I don't really agree that this should be the default behavior. There are privacy considerations to think about, at the very least.

Privacy considerations? Please explain to me. I don't see a privacy issue in showing a path that the same user navigated to before?!

I believe this is suggesting that when a hash file is read in (not written out) for the purpose of verifying files that the UI somewhere display the base directory (that is, the hash file's parent directory path) of the verification operation. I don't see any privacy considerations with that. If hash files were written out with absolute paths then I could see that being a privacy concern, but that's not what this is asking for.

I suppose the title bar could display the full path to the hash file, or display it above or below the verification results. Another option that wouldn't take any additional space is having a tooltip appear with the full file path when hovering over a value in the File Name column.
