Description Māris Nartišs 2009-11-20 09:51:18 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

In KDE 4.3.3 icon chooser for KEditFileType offers icons with one text row for their names. This text row is too short to display all icon name text if icon name is MIME type. It's hard to choose icon by it's name as it's possible to read full icon name only when hovering over icon otherwise all icons are named "applicatio...".

There are two possible solutions for this problem:
1) show at least two rows for icon names;
2) offer list view similarly like Dolphin has for files.

"applicatio..." what?

Comment 2 Nate Graham 2018-04-10 19:17:53 UTC

The file names now wrap onto an additional line when necessary the way Dolphin does. However unlike Dolphin, the number of lines is capped at two, but that's probably fine for most file names. Folder View does the same thing. If necessary, we can investigate increasing the default to 3 (though that got pushback for Folder View; see https://phabricator.kde.org/D11358), but for now, I'm calling this FIXED.
