Improved display of filename extension

Post by *Lefteous »

When using the option 'direct after filename' extensions are displayed directly after the separating dot. This works quite well but there is a case where I see room for improvement. When filenames are quite long TC has too cut them to make them fit into the reserved space. The reserved space here is the name column and the extension column. Ellipses are used to indicate that the filename has been cut.

Now where is the problem? The extension is cut. What about cutting only the filename but still display the extension? This would look like this e.g.:

After the change:
Very very long filename that doesn't fit into the win....txt

Currently:
Very very long filename that doesn't fit into the window...
