Hi Folks:
I flattened out several folders and noticed that the filenames in the details box at the bottom of the pane ran into the second column of information--see the screenshot. The names are long but either they should be truncated or there should be a way to widen the columns of details. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Brig

Re: Scrap pane details & long filenames
everything's possible... in this case you'd have to tweak the HTML file that defines the detailed view mode
however making things too wide would unnecessarily affect the 99% of normal size files

This glitch is also happening in “List” View mode.
The workaround is child’s play:
Download http://zabkat.com/extras/x2details.txt.
Open it in a pure text editor.
Change the “.pane” class code from
to
Save the file to “X2DETAILS.HTM” and place it in the xplorer² home folder.
When you relaunch xplorer², you should have all longish names word-wrapped (see screen capture below).
HTH.

Re: Scrap pane details & long filenames
the problem with brig's filename is that it doesn't have spaces to break it, otherwise it works fine
Re: Scrap pane details & long filenames
File names with underscore characters are also broken (see screen capture).
Re: Scrap pane details & long filenames
it's a good idea then! I will change the default HTM resource to break on underscores

Nikos,
You might want to take a look at the following pages:
Handling Long Words and URLs (Forcing Breaks, Hyphenation, Ellipsis, etc)
word-break

Hey, many thanks guys! I really appreciate it. I do like child's-play fixes.
