<DIR> How to hide it fro ma view

Post by *BeersTeddy »

Is it possible to hide <DIR> from a custom view, so the "Super extremely pointless long folder name that shouldn't even exists" (check photos) can overlap the column "size" as it does with "ext"?

Obviously I still want folder size to show up when pressing space

You can get rid of <dir> (e.g. changing 677="<dir>" entry in *.lng to 677=""), but the "size" column remains "out of reach, out of touch...", so this does not help you to resolve the overlap issue.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I can't really find the file WCMD_ENG.LNG anywhere. All of the languages are there apart from the default English one.


Edit.

Found the file in here
https://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=24121&start=15

Copied to LANGUAGES folder, done suggested edit and it works like a charm... apart from overlap, which I can live with.

Thanks

BeersTeddy,
You actually only need that one changed line. All the rest will be loaded from the internal English resource automatically.

Thank you for the important note.
For instance, I myself have only seven customized entries in my language file (*.lng).
And that's an advantage of using the English language version.
Of course, if a localized version lacks entries they too would be filled up with the internal ones, but a user still loses language consistency, while English just stays English.
This allows me to keep my custom language file as compact as possible and to easily maintain/update it as needed.
