How to hide file extensions?

[autocart]

Not in a way you'd probably like.

You could use a custom column with a script that removes the extension but... you'd loose the icon (although you could reduce the size of the normal file name column to only show the icon^^).

How to setup a custom column:

Caption: Whatever
Type: Script
Script:

Code: Select all

return "<cc_base>";

Format: Text
Trigger: Browse
Item type: Files and Folders

This solution still has its valid use, though.
Reason: The setting in Tools->Customize List does NOT get saved with folder view settings!
The solution with Custom Columns, however, DOES get saved there.

And it gets even easier using a CC of type Template:
Then the only entry in the template needs to be <cc_base>. No other code.

CON: Only availalbe in the PRO version.

EDIT: It gets funny, though, if one wants to rename an item (inline) under these conditions.
Especially does it not update the base name after rename. -> Can this be considered a bug or is it too special?
another big disadvantage: color filters do not work this way. -> So, it does not have a valid use after all (for me).

It is saved. If it is ticked. See shot.

Ohhhh,
I guess I did not know how to update a saved folder view properly.
After renewed testing I finally got it to work as u describe, Don. Sorry & Thx.
This is the best solution and it was already there.
