Version: unspecified (using Devel) OS: Linux Currently file names are truncated at the end, i.e. "really_long_filename.jpg" becomes "really_lo...". I noticed that this is not optimal because I often need to know the file's extension in order to know whether it is the right one. I know there are tooltips and the statusbar, but if there is no better reason to truncate file names at the end, being able to see the extension right away seems a valid reason to change the method. AFAIK it's how Mac OS X truncates, so it's not that off. :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Make dolphin truncate a file name Actual Results: file's extension not visible Expected Results: visible extension
Forgot to add how to do it. "real...name.jpg"
With Dolphin 2.0 per default no filenames get be clipped at all. Does this wish still make sense for you? The only usecase that comes to my mind would be the details-view where the name-column can be shrinked by the user...
Would you still like to have this as a feature? If yes, I can set the status to CONFIRMED, but if the new way is good enough for you, I'll close this report.
No response -> closing. Please reopen the bug report if you are not satisfied with the current behavior of Dolphin.
Actually, especially with this change: https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/312 this feature request still makes sense. Now the extension is shown when truncated, but otherwise it is clipped from the end. But especially when several people shift files back and forth, the filename often grows, ie.: already_a_long_filename.docx already_a_long_filename_revisions_by_A.docx already_a_long_filename_revisions_by_A_changed_by_B.docx etc. In such cases, I would much rather loose a part of the filename in the middle ("a long filename") then the end (who did the revisions).
