Title:
file save dialog cripples dirnames while having much space
Status in “gtk+3.0” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
See screenshots and german rant here:
http://demystifikation.wordpress.com/2013/09/09/dat-dial/
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS"
Gedit 3.4.1 Xubuntu 12.04 LTS
When opening a file, the "file open" - Dialog cripples the directory
names, while having plenty of space to show the full names:
scala> val pfad = "/home/stefan/proj/mini/forum"
pfad: String = /home/stefan/proj/mini/forum
scala> val dirsAndFile = pfad.split ("/").tail dirsAndFile:
Array[String] = Array(home, stefan, proj, mini, forum)
scala> println (pfad.length)
28
The size in which the dialog opens is about 1000 pixel. That would
allow 30 pixel per character, even if you substract something for
button borders and the initial icons. Another bad idea is, to shorten
a 5 character dirname to 4 characters + "...". You could for example
shorten only names longer than 5 to 4 + "..." like this demo code in
Scala shows:
List ("vier", "fuenf", "sechse", "siehben").foreach (x => { if (x.length > 5)
println (x.take (4) + "...") else println (x)})
vier
fuenf
sech...
sieh...
