[wish] still show extension when filename is truncated

[schmock]

i dont use the extensions column, because i like to see the .ext directly behind the filename.
so when the filename is too long and truncated i would propose to put the "..." in front of the .ext like this:

veryveryveryveryveryverylongfilen...txt

instead of this:

veryveryveryveryveryverylongfilenam...

thanks!

Hello !

• I use the same setting, and I guess it could be better in the case.
- Currently, only the colours by file types can help, supposing you have a reasonable amount of them,
with sufficiently different hues…

Support that request.

Mmmh,

veryveryveryveryveryverylongfilen...txt

is a unusual, but valid file name, while

veryveryveryveryveryverylongfilenam...

is not....

Support that request too!

Mmmh,

Maybe it's just a question of display:

veryveryveryveryveryverylongfilen....txt
veryveryveryveryveryverylongfilen[...].txt

Something like that would be nice – if possible at all.

veryveryveryveryveryverylongfilen[...].txt

Better:
veryveryveryveryveryverylongfilen<..>.txt

I agree, coloring would be helpful to indicate that the filename is truncated.

I'd prefer

Code: Select all

veryveryveryveryveryverylongfilen***.txt

because * is forbidden and I find that <> or [ ] is too heavy and takes to much place.
