Title:
In list view, abbreviate files by cutting out the middle instead of
truncating
Status in Nautilus:
Confirmed
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: nautilus
If you view long file names in Nautilus List View, it truncates by
cutting off the end. But the vast majority of the time, if there are
similar filenames, the part that differentiates them will either occur
at the beginning or the end. If you cut off the end in this case, they
will look identical and you will be forced to scroll or enlarge the
text field to identify the one you want:
This is a file.txt
This is a long filename which is c...
This is a long filename which is c...
This is a long filename which is c...
This is a long filename which is c...
This is a short filename.jpg
A better way to shorten filenames is to cut out the middle and leave
the ends:
This is a file.txt
This is a long f...is number 001.jpg
This is a long f...is number 002.jpg
This is a long f...is number 003.jpg
This is a long f...that it ends in.htm
This is a short filename.jpg
This should be the standard way to do it in Nautilus.
