Serach from @c:\mylist.txt - improve message

I use now "search from @c:\mylist.txt", and want to suggest better information for NOT found files.
a) Title "Searchpath not found" is confusing. Are the "path" or the "files" or "path with files" not found?
b) The pure message box is unhandy. It wraps long paths, can not be increased and does not show all results. Maybe you can replace the message box with an intelligent list?
Have a good time!

a) This means that the path in which the search should start couldn't be found. If the list file couldn't be found you get a "File not found" instead.

I want to give an example. I have (among others) these lines stored in "c:\filelist.txt"
Code: Select all
d:\xxx\del_file.txt
d:\xxx\del_folder\del_file.txt
A search with "@c:\filelist.txt" works fine.
Then I renamed file and folder:
Code: Select all
d:\xxx\del_file.txt --->> d:\xxx\zzz_del_file.txt Folder still exists, but not the file
d:\xxx\del_folder\del_file.txt --->> d:\xxx\zzz_del_folder\del_file.txt Folder does not exist, but the file in in
A search with "@c:\filelist.txt" shows a message:
Searchpath not found (2x)
d:\xxx\del_file.txt
d:\xxx\del_folder\del_file.txt
Maybe I have the wrong understanding of the word "Searchpath", but in a precise description I would see ...
File not found:
d:\xxx\del_file.txt
Path not found:
d:\xxx\del_folder\del_file.txt
Or a simple message would be:
Not found (2x):
d:\xxx\del_file.txt
d:\xxx\del_folder\del_file.txt

I fully agree and understand Christians descripton
What is so complicated to understand the word Searchpath ?
