Hide extensions?

[Allekz]

Is there a way to hide known extensions in XnView Browser?

It would be very useful, especially when working on file names. When I click on any file and enables the name edition, I need to be careful not to erase the last name (.jpg, .tif, etc.), so it makes the job tedious and slow.

I think the background colors and icons are good enough to know at first sight what kind of file I got.

Any help?

I have added a dialog to rename in next release, to edit only the filename without extension...

Nice news! Thanks.

Nevertheless, I think hiding extensions is also good for concentrate the eye on the name of the files, which is almost always what a user need. It could make a clearer--and then faster--view and search of the pictures. Don't you think so?

I suggest you too this option! It would be very nice because who cares about extensions if I see the Type of an image/video. I hope it will be released soon! XnView kicks ACDSee! Kepp on good work!

In 1.90betas you can swap "Filename" for "Filename (without extension)" in the thumbnail options for the browser. It may or may not be in 1.84, I don't have that one around to test.
