--- Comment #12 from Matteo Modesti <matte...@gmail.com> ---
I honestly hate this "fix", for me it's been a very negative change: in the
most important directories I organize file names as something like

    Author -- yyyy-mm-dd -- Topic -- Sub-topic -- Name/Title -- ID.ext

so that it's ordered by author, then date, then topic, etc. and I COULD still
see (for the most part) the most important things, which are topic, sub-topic
and the first half of name/title.

Now I can't: this forced change has made that impossible for me, rendering
Dolphin totally useless in those (important) directories. I'm thinking about
switching to another file manager for this reason.

This is not the way to go: a change like this should be configurable in the
Settings, where you should provide all 3 possible elision options:
  * right  (like before)
  * middle (like now)
  * left   (somebody could find that useful, probably me too)
Making Dolphin save it in the directory's custom settings (instead of globally)
would be even better, because you could need different elision types in
different directories.
