I have a bunch of amalgam captures and this drives me nuts. I pretty much just have to guess which one I’m picking or I guess go rename them all shorter. Seems like a huge waste of space. Either stretch the name to the edge or let me collapse the sidebar once I’m inside the folder to get more width on the screen

There is probably a feature request for this. Search and if you don’t see an existing request, feel free to create a new request.

I did search. Didn’t see much. Can this be changed to a feature request or do I need to create a new one

I work in chip development for a living and there are people that still religiously grab onto the 80 character column width for reasons no other than “well, back in 1372 when we…”. In my opinion the truncation shown here is a massive waste of valuable screen space that actually impacts usability.

Other places in the UI show the full width. It’s just in the selection column so it’s not even that limit. For such a great device this is really dumb
