Can I get XYplorer to not skip any letters in file names with icon view?

Post by prr »

Not sure how to word my question, so I'll include two screenshots below.
I like viewing some files (docs & videos) in icon view, and I am used to seeing either the full file name, or at least the first x letters of that name.

But with XYplorer, I will occasionally see the middle letters cut off, and the first and last letters of the name in the file. This sometimes can be confusing, and I have to select the file and/or hover over it, to see the entire name. The screenshots attached, show the same folder in WIndows Explorer, and XYplorer. I have circled the same files in each folder view, so you can see what I'm talking about. The first pic is XYplorer; the second one is Windows Explorer.

Is there any way to get XYplorer to show either the full file name, or at least, not skip any letters, and show the firstx letters of the file name?

Thanks.

I think its "30" in Base 60, or something like that. :biggrin:

EDIT: Just updated the Configuration file. That did it. Thanks again.
