Bug ID: 447623
Summary: Truncate filenames in the middle
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.23.4
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Folder
Assignee: h...@kde.org
Reporter: tomash...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
In the folder view, long filenames are truncated at the end, so for a filename
like this: "Sample filename document from 2002.docx", it will get truncated to
something like this: "Sample filename document fro..." (depending on your icon
size and label width). It would make more sense to truncate filenames from the
middle for two reasons:
1) The file extension might be quite helpful at times (imagine you want to drag
the file to be opened in certain app - extension will give you a hint as to
which application would open it).
2) Similar files (or versions of each other) are quite often differentiated at
the end. Imagine another document like this: "Sample filename document from
2003.pdf" - you could not tell it from the original one.
This has been requested once before:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=277882 - solved by not truncating at all
in Dolphin.
