Shorten Long Filenames to Reveal Extensions a la Finder #525
Comments
The results list can be resized. It wasn’t remembering the new size after a restart, but that was fixed in B61 (if not B60). Will that work? |
@skurfer Should've mentioned my awareness of that. I think I would prefer what I proposed. This is by no means a must-have feature; just putting it out there. |

One of my favorite things that I discovered early in my use of OS X is how Finder will shorten long filenames to look like this: "verylon...lename.txt". If I am looking through a list of files that share these long names with different extensions, I can easily identify one from the other.
I think this behavior could work well in QS's results window. Any thoughts?
EDIT: I know I can resize the results list for this, but my OCD is telling me to leave it the way it is.
