many tabs

SUMMARY
I have a lot of directory tabs open, in previous versions i still saw a few letters of each directory which was enough to identify them. Now i only see ellipses on most of them.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open many directory tabs of various title lengths

OBSERVED RESULT
Unless the directory name is very short, like 3 letters, you only see ......

EXPECTED RESULT
Seeing at least a few letters and 2-3 dots at the end (or beginning both works for me).

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: libplasma 6.2.3-1
KDE Frameworks Version: plasma-framework5 5.116.0-1 (only package i have with framework in the name)
Qt Version: qt6-base 6.8.0-1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
No icons showing as i replaced them all with a transparent one in my theme as they distract me.
A setting to not show the ellipses at all and as many letters as fits would be ideal for me.

I found frameworkintegration 6.8.0 is installed, i think that is the one you wanted info on.

Guess it was unreasonable of me to assume i would be able to see what tabs i have open.

No, this is not unreasonable.

The "wishlist" is just a way for us to categorize for future improvements. Don't worry, this will be covered at some point, when people are done with more "dangerous" bugs. :) Thank you for the report!

Going to actually bump it into minor, since it more usability thing than a feature.
