shortening filenames too agressive -- provide option for it

SS in next comment.

It is wrong because I would like to see more -- so I decrease images size a little, but when I decrease it, gwenview changes limits for filenames in effect I no longer know what I am looking at.

Two suggestions suggestions:
a) add option "show full filenames" 
b) show at least distinctive part of filenames no matter what (time execution: cheap)

Reasons for both: filenames are not decorations, they should provide information. Point (b) is minimum, without gwenview does not show information really.

ad.b) ... and at least N characters ;-)

As you can see at the ss there is "include" shortened to "in..." but visually the only saving is space taken for "e". I would much better prefer to see "includ" with some kind of triangle indicating there is more, than triple dots that say nothing and take the space (btw. dots can be part of the real name so it is a weak indicator after all).

Yup. Will be fixed by https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364550, though.
