Show long file names

[f242]

If someone sends a file with a long filename, a mouseover with the full filename should appear .

Amazing description :+1:

I'm currently being annoyed by this issue. No way you can read the full name unless the file is downloaded first.

[f242]

@cristian64 you can go to profile -> shared media -> files but i think tooltip will be more useful

[cristian64]

Actually, I hadn't thought of that list of files, thank you. However, the list you see there doesn't even have the original file names, but some kind of cooked name, to remove special characters apparently.

@cristian64 I'm afraid they're removed on the server-side.

[cristian64]

I think you're right. Only the client that sent the files have some trace of the original name.

Interesting point on this, on chat side the filename is cut, but on contacts part the full name is show. https://i.imgur.com/stLButz.png

5 yrs and still the same?

5 yrs and still the same?

pull requests are welcomed, also. like i pointed, on contacts part the full name is show, so if we take that we can use it for tooltip.

@Aokromes could you send the file to a test channel?

Don't know if authors of the bot can add such a feature, though

Please fix this. I find it insane that an app with 1B+ downloads misses such a basic feature.

Tooltips for long filenames should be added to the 4.3.0 version.

[Aokromes]

yes, tooltip is there, but if 2 files contains 99% of the start of file with same name the 2nd and following will have the end of filename (without extension) cut, but acording preston this is server side limitation.

File name length up to 60 characters, others will be trimmed out
