I think these labels are limited to 2 lines but maybe we can increase that. Maybe we could show the full path when hovering them The maximum line count is 5, actually, which should be plenty. The truncation you're seeing here happens in KIO. This was mostly done to avoid sending multi-megabytes of data: URLs around. |
Created attachment 143741 [details] Screenshot SUMMARY If one copies a file or folder with a long path like `/media/this/is/a/very/long/path/which/will/become/elided/in/the/middle.img` to `/media/this/is/a/very/long/path/which/foo/becomes/elided/in/the/middle.img` both become truncated and elided somewhere in the middle ``` /media/this/is/a/very/long/path/... ided/in/the/middle.img ``` However in certain situations it can be useful to read the full paths, but there's no option to display it and thus the exact source and destination cannot be determined.
