Full file name and color filters

[TommyBoy]

Hi, I have two quick questions regarding XY. When I go to thumbnail view is there an option to force the full file name so I don't get the ..? Is there an option to change the font size for XY without doing it through the system?

Also, I just started using color filters and I love them. The only problem I have is that on my D drive it's colored some of my normal folders as system folders. I don't get why it randomly selected some of the folders as system folders. When I also select to hide system folders it also hides those exact same folders. I am noticing that all the system, except for one have a different icon than the default if thats any help.

Thanks again for everything.

Full file name: no, no option available. You see the full name when you hover the mouse over it.

Font size: of course! Either through menu View / Font / Tree, List etc..., OR using the mouse wheel with CTRL.

Coloring depends on the order of your filter definitions: the first match from top will determine the color of the item.

Would this be a worthwhile FR? I'm often frustrated at either having to mouse over a file name to see the full name, or select it and see the full name in the Panel. So I'd like to see it, but I wonder if anyone else would find it useful?

I would find this useful too. I sometimes work with photos in thumbs mode and i have somewhat longish filename to include date, time location etc and XY cuts off the endings which is most important to me because I have the increment numbers last.
I would like to see full file names at the cost of several pixels (or rows) wasted. But then its upto user to choose whats important.
So +1 for this.

The thumbs' display columns currently have a minimal width of 120 pixels. I could make this configurable, however it will never be wide enough for very long file names.

Why don't you simply use the Details with Thumbs view?

No its me, I thought I had answered this, but i was wrong. Anyway, Details with thumbs is good but with Thumbs only style I can view more photos.

You can't have everything at the same time. Unless you use shorter filenames!
