Scrap pane details & long filenames

[Brig]

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

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

Code: Select all

.pane {
	float: left;
	margin-right: 10px;
	margin-top: 5px;
	max-width: 250px;
}

to

Code: Select all

.pane {
	float: left;
	margin-right: 10px;
	margin-top: 5px;
	max-width: 250px;
	word-break: break-all;
}

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.
Cheers,
Robert

the problem with brig's filename is that it doesn't have spaces to break it, otherwise it works fine

[Robert2]

File names with underscore characters are also broken (see screen capture).

[nikos]

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.
