#16315 new bug

Tracker should wrap long file names

Description

Currently file names that are too long or consist of several words are not wrapped, they are displayed on a single line. This causes weird icon placements when icons are sorted, or text overflow on Desktop, causing parts of the file name not visible when the icon is placed on the edge of the screen and aligned to the grid.

Tracker should wrap these lines, and display filenames on multiple (in icon view) rows.

I'm keeping this as bug instead of enhancement, because of the clipped filenames on Desktop explained above.

Probably related to #3598.

Suggestion:

Add a new "Grid" menu to Tracker's "Window" menu, only active when in Mini/Icon mode like the "Arrange by" menu. In it:

  • "Decrease size"
  • "Increase size"
  • -------------------
  • "Snap icons to grid" - on/off toggleable, dropped and newly created files automatically align to the grid.
  • "Truncate icon labels" - on/off toggleable, it forces file labels to be truncated to the current grid size.
