Bug ID: 448279
Summary: File name of selected file on desktop remains
truncated
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Folder
Assignee: h...@kde.org
Reporter: php4...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Save a file with a very long file name to the desktop
2. Select it by clicking on it
OBSERVED RESULT
When the file is not selected, the filename is truncated and shown with an
ellipsis ("...") and that's fine.
When I select it, the filename (now highlighted) is STILL truncated with the
ellipsis. In order to see the whole file name, I have to right-click and
inspect file Properties.
When you have several (meaning more than 2) files with long names that only
differ in the ending, this gets very irritating.
EXPECTED RESULT
When you select a file, the entire filename should be shown one way or another
(be it in-place or in a tooltip if it gets too long, if you want), even if it
gets a little ugly. It could be ok to still have a limit, e.g. in the few
hundred of characters, if there's a concern that a file with hugely long file
name can render the desktop unusable, but I can't really imagine how that would
happen. The important thing is that I MUST be able to see the full name of a
file on the desktop quickly, with no more effort than clicking on it, without
opening a whole File Properties window.
