Sorry, I finally get it to work from here:

We was discussing it, and I don't find this patch. I still have the mails you
send me, but just cannot found it.

Yes it work.

I think at default GTK don't apply here because most of the time, we don't want
to have duplicated files in the same playlist but just move them around.

I was thinking to show the path (only the last 2 folder names in the patch). If
the file is /home/dom/Musique/Author/Album/song, the display will show
"Author - Album" as artist name.
