Auto-hide file extension in Name column if Ext column is displayed
Posted: 17 Mar 2025 14:33
Hi,
I'm looking in the help for “extension”, but I can't find (if it exists?) how to hide the extension in the “name” column.
This saves space when the “Ext” column is displayed.
If it doesn't exist, could it be added?
An option like “Don't display the file extension in the Name column if the Extension column is displayed”.
Alternative: Allow sorting by extension on the “Name” column header (using Alt+click on the header, for example)?
