Web: Truncate names

Created on 4 Oct 2019  路  1Comment  路  Source: owncloud/web

Description

We use a lot of boxes with fixed width which contain file/folder names. As soon as they get longer it simply goes away from the box creating an ugly UI. We need to decide how do we want to handle this and then implement this.

Proposed solutions:

  • Truncate the end of the name and keep only the part that fits the boxes replacing then the end with dots.
  • Split the name into two parts and keep only certain number of characters in both parts if it goes over some number of characters and put dots in between them.

I'd vote for second solution! And maybe a mousover that has the full name?
