Dear all, A missing feature in nautilus is truncated long file name.
Imagine opening a dir with a lot of long file names such as a dir containing papers that have title as the file name, which a lot academic workers will do. How messy and inconvenient that is! Lately a colleague, a first-time gnome user, has asked for help to configure his nautilus to show tidily a dir of books that he collected. Unfortunately no one could give an answer. He has then been persuaded to change to KDE. As a gnome user for 4 years, I hate to see people leave gnome this way and thus this post. In case you can't try konqueror or xp explorer, here is the feature: In konqueror or xp explorer, long file name will be truncated with ... to indicate the missing part. A popup will show the full file name when mouse is over the item. (Konqueror has this feature for over 2 years) Files in the desktop are treated differently. Full file name is shown for selected item. This feature is available in xp. Apology for my English. Thanks for your time. -- Leon -- nautilus-list mailing list nautilus-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
