Is it possible to show full file name in thumbnails view?

[Ampeter]

When I switch to thumbnail view I can only see the first 9 to 12 file name letters... it is very difficult to navigate picture collections which typically have names like "SUMMER HOLYDAY 2009-05-01-at the beach_04.JPG" when you can only see "SUMMER HOL...JPG".

Is there a way around this problem?

Is there a way around this problem?

Try to enable Win32-style tips from Config dialog> Display page> help text group and check "Show filename in file list as tooltip if truncated" and "Win32-style tips with file comments (if available)"

Thanks!, but unfortunately that only shows a tooltip when you hover over one file... it's better than nothing, but still showing the name (or any custom field) in several rows if necessary would be the best... Am I the only one bothered by this? It looks like such a basic thing even puny windows explorer can do...

You may try to show the last n (14) characters of the filename using:

"Configuration -> Options.. : Thumbnails
[x] Show custom fields below thumbnails (e.g: image size):"
[=tc.name:-14,14]

n depends on your thumbnail size and your font settings.

(or any custom field) in several rows

Something like: [=tc.name:-14,14]\n[=exif.DateTimeStr] ?

You can even define the content of those rows by file types.

Hi, I've run into the same problem and the fix with [=tc.name:-14,14]\n[=exif.DateTimeStr] doesn't solve the issue. I have my thumbnails set as 100x100 and setting tc.name:-100,100 still only shows one line of the filename (which - the filename - is too long for one line).
How can I display filename in more than one line in thumbnails view?

I'm a few years late to the party, but am looking for a way to apply a wrap setting to the thumbnail caption. Is there a way?

Not "automatic" wrap, but you can configure split e.g. name by type

Code: Select all

[=tc.name:1-20]\n[=tc.name:21-40]\n[=tc.name:41-60]\n[=tc.name:61-]

as a custom field on thumbnails config.
