Thumbnails-Views: Show complete names (uncropped, even if long)

Post by W. Buck »

Hello

First of all I'd like to say "merci beaucoup" for this excellent piece of software! I am new to it and I am deeply impressed!

There is only one thing that is bugging me a bit:
In the Views Thumbnails-Filenames and Thumbnails-Details, filenames get cropped at the end of the images box.
Of course I can hover to see it in the ToolTip, and also I can see the name in the Info pane.

But I usually navigate by keyboard, not by mouse, and it would be much more ergonomic to have the full name visible right with the picture.

I searched in settings for an option to have the filename shown with line break, but I couldn't find a setting.
Also, in the forum I did not find a topic regarding this problem.

The file manager FreeCommander solves it like this:
  • It offers to configure the size of the boxes in its thumbnails view. The longer the boxes are, the more text fits under the image.
  • When selected, the box expands downwards as long as needed to show the full name. (Then it overlaps the image beneath, which is not a problem, as this is only for the selected file.)
I could well imagine that I have missed a setting to achieve the display of the file name in full length. Can anyone give me a hint, please?

Kind regards from Bern, Wolfgang

So you have the full text only when you click on a thumbnail?

Hello

In FreeCommander's thumbnail view, when you haven't configured the boxes to be large enough to accomodate the name in full length (in several lines), the name gets cropped.

Of course, in other views, this is different. And when you display it in the "quick viewer", you also see the full name.

I attached a little screenshot that shows all cases in thumbnail view:
- cropped box (regular),
- selected file (green box) with extended box to show full name,
- at the same time mouse-hovered-over file also with extended box.

I hope I could answer your question?
