Hi, i've been wondering can you in any way show full file names like in default explorer?

Is there any way to make sizes the same (default large is smaller than medium in files) as large setting in default explorer?

Why pinned favorites load slow (takes like 6 seconds to load after launching the app) even if added by Files and not default explorer?

Pics added to illustrate question no.1

We're currently limited by the grid control we're using but it's something we're trying hard to workaround.

So basically all of issues i have are related to that grid system (besides the last one)?

Yes

Huh as a dev myself i won't ask for ETA's, good luck and i hope you manage to get it done eventually

In that case I'll share a little more info on the issue 😄

if something i meant gamedev specifically

The item height in the grid is the same for every row, if we wanted to support wrapping the text onto multiple lines, it would change the height of every row.

Yeah, but you'd still understand 😅

#

yeah that's actually html+css level problem that would.... require change of the system itself it seems, as i said i'm not too knowledgeable in software dev so i don't think i'm fit to really have any say in this, but thanks for sharing regardless and maybe someday i will look up repo

#

Tho small temporary workaround would be to simply make it show full name when clicking on element, but it would need to be restricted to only single selection, like in default explorer it can simply extend over other elements with highlight

#

That doesn't really fix the issue though, nobody wants to focus on item just to see the file name

#

that's why it's small temporary workaround- absolutely not even close to being a solution, literal band aid- in my use case it would help at least for now. I'm more or less a file hoarder so i know my stuff for the most part, but when i need to check something in depth simple click would be fine

You can try the tiles layout, that displays a little better

that would also work but then getting used to it after so many years would take a while for sure
