What's the Problem?
For now when renaming a file/folder in Files
, when file name is limited to not exceed the width of the Name
column, which can make the file name less unreadable than the original Windows File Explorer
(I hope it's called that...).
A simple contrast between the two explorers:
Solution/Idea
Mimick the behavior of the original Windows file explorer, i.e., let the file name exceeds the Name
column when renaming, to improve file name readability.
Alternatives
- Show a seperate prompt window to enter the new file name (
Dolphin
by KDE does that IIRC). - When renaming, don't let the file name exceeds the
Name
column, but show multiple lines within the set width (this method would be unnatural and hard to deal with when renaming a file in the middle).
Example File Structure:
-------Name column------------|----whatever-column----------|
.
├──A folder
├──Random file
├──The file to rename
└──Another random file
Example File Renaming UI:
-------Name column------------|----whatever-column----------|
.
├──A folder
├──Random file
├──The file to rename (which
| has a long name like this)
└──Another random file
