Re: [Denemo-devel] File Open dialog and preview

[Richard Shann]

Thanks for reporting this. I didn't notice myself because I have a wide
screen, so I can drag the window wider.
I've been studying it a bit: the name column can be widened and the
whole filename/date/etc pane has scroll bars, so it is possible to
scroll the pane so that the informative part of the name shows. (That
is, you have several file names starting Branle... and by scrolling you
can get the pane to show the next bit of the name after Branle for each
file. Then you can look down the list.) Quite horrible, but a
workaround. Another workaround would be to delete the~/.thumbnails
directory. Better: turn off Thumbnails in the Edit->Prefs->Miscellaneous
tab. (Though you will still need to delete the old thumbnails).
I'll put this in the bug-tracker, there is already an issue with it
showing old thumbnails for files which don't have a thumbnail.
