    private string ShrinkPath(string path, int maxLength)
    {
        var parts = path.Split('\\');
        var output = String.Join("\\", parts, 0, parts.Length);
        var endIndex = (parts.Length - 1);
        var startIndex = endIndex / 2;
        var index = startIndex;
        var step = 0;

        while (output.Length >= maxLength && index != 0 && index != endIndex)
        {
            parts[index] = "...";
            output = String.Join("\\", parts, 0, parts.Length);
            if (step >= 0) step++;
            step = (step * -1);
            index = startIndex + step;
        }
        return output;
    }
