Media Picker in Umbraco 16 truncates file names with no way to view full name #1233

Which Umbraco version are you using?

16.2.0

Bug summary

When selecting media in the backoffice using the Choose media dialog, long file names are truncated with an ellipsis (…) and there is currently no way to view the full file name. This makes it difficult to distinguish between similarly named assets.

This behavior appears in Umbraco 16’s updated media picker card layout.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Upload a media file with a long name (e.g., some-long-file-name-version-2025-final.jpg).
  2. Open a property editor that allows selecting media (e.g., Media Picker).
  3. Click Choose media to browse.
  4. Observe the file name displayed under the media thumbnail.

Expected result / actual result

Expected result

  • Full file name should be visible, or
  • A way to reveal it should exist (e.g., tooltip, wrap, hover expansion, or details toggle).

Actual result

  • The file name is truncated with ….
  • Hovering or selecting does not show the complete name.
  • This prevents users from identifying the correct asset.
