--- Comment #8 from Christian Christiansen <christian.l.christian...@gmail.com> --- @Ashram Thank you for detailing that only when a single item with elided text is hovered or selected, should the full text be displayed. It may be possible to use another file browser in the interim (although from briefly looking PCManFM-qt and Konqueror also have the same behaviour as Dolphin); otherwise turning off elided text in Dolphin currently may be the best option. I have taken a look into it, but I am not familiar with Dolphin's code and have been unable to come up with a solution, let alone a solution which isn't completely hacked together. Hopefully by including some information below, the job will be made easier for somebody else. @Anybody wishing to patch this So far as I can see, it is mainly the function KStandardItemListWidget::updateIconsLayoutTextCache() which needs to be adapted. It is easy to determine whether the item is selected (if isSelected()), and if so, for the name not to be elided. Troubles I ran into: 1. Determining whether the item is the _only_ one selected. (Solving this could be pretty nasty, or maybe there's some neat way I've completely overlooked.) 2. Having the overflowing text always render neatly (as only the part where Dolphin expects the icon to be is re-rendered, leaving off the bit with the overflowing text). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
