I have a folder with files named in this format: 'Date Title [Attribute].ext'  
I want only the Title displayed in the Name column, hiding the Date and [Attribute]. How to achieve this?  
I found this [Split filename parts into individual columns for click sorting](https://resource.dopus.com/t/split-filename-parts-into-individual-columns-for-click-sorting/29570) to be the closest workaround. But that is not exactly what I am looking for.

You can't change what the name column displays (besides hiding the extension), but you could shrink its width down to 0 and replace it with an evaluator column which can manipulate the name however you like.

If I shrink the width to 0, how do I select the file?

You would need to turn on full row select.
