Display of long names

Help & Support
1

Hi!

Is there a way to make it so that in Thumbnails mode, when selecting a file/folder with a very long name, it doesn't display the entire name, but to limit it to one line? This on DOpus 13. (i have the lines set to 1 in the thumbnails section on settings)

Not currently, no, at least without turning off labels entirely.

The file that has focus will always show its full name. (Similar to in File Explorer, I think. Unless they changed that.)

We might make it optional in the future, when things settle down a bit.

Alright, got it. For instance, in a scenario where a directory contains files and every single one of them has lenghty names, the name would cover part of the thumbnail of the file immediately below with no way of hide it. It might be useful to have an option where selecting a file displays its full name, but once deselected, it reverts to showing the name in the # of lines is set to. Any way, thank you for the response.

Hello Leo

I want to join the inquirer.
I have also set the lines to 1 in the thumbnails section on settings and get following display in Opus 13:

DOpus_13_ThumbnailsView_crop
DOpus_13_ThumbnailsView_crop490×676 262 KB

This is when opening new Lister window, with focus frame, or when changing folder, without focus frame. No selection made.
The overwrite gets worse with longer names.
Opus 12 remains on Windows 7 32-bit system and it has consistent display:
DOpus_12_ThumbnailsView_crop
DOpus_12_ThumbnailsView_crop486×684 268 KB

The solution could be to (a) expand the filename ONLY in selection case (NOT already in focus because focus seems always there), or (b) provide an option in settings to disable filename expansion as it was in Opus 12.

I went so far to declare Test Failure for this quirk.

I don't care what other programs or Windows Explorer do, because Opus has been the reference for thumbnail display for me.
I am glad to hear that a fix is considered when things have settled...

Nothing's broken here. We had a lot of requests over the years for the new behavior. (Which is actually the very old behavior Opus had originally, it was just never carried over to rendering with visual styles until now.)

An option for it would make sense though, certainly.

Alright, got it. Thank you for the response. :smiley:

An option for this will be in 13.7.1 beta.
