Not always - Often when making major changes to a project I create a full  
copy of it, and the first directory is the only one which differs. But at  
least your current proposal fixes my common situation where I have two  
versions of a file open (one on my laptop, the other on a mapped network  
drive) and the one which has path information varies depending on how they  
were opened.
