Long file names need a little help
« on: 2010 August 20 13:54:26 »

Hi,

I have a few images loaded with long names. Once you start debayering or cloning or extracting L you get <long>_<something> so you really do need to see the entire file name. This is a little problematic for PI:

- the view selector bottom left is a bit narrow and doesn't seem to be resizeable to deal with long file names. Mousing over the clipped file name doesn't make the long file name appear. That seems like a reasonable thing to implement, right?
- in the view explorer names also get clipped on the left. Mousing over a clipped name also doesn't make the long name appear. I can't move the separator between the two explorer halves. Workaround: collapse the right half of the explorer, resize the window and expand the explorer again.
Best,
