Description
expected behavior: by default, when viewing a directory, amaze should fold or truncate long file names. There should be an option to enable folding.
actual behavior: you get shown a random portion of the filename (marquee effect). There is an option to truncate instead, but no option to fold.
- install Amaze
- go to a directory with a really long file name

Research direction
Install Amaze and reproduce the behavior by opening a directory containing a very long file name, then inspect the directory-view filename rendering entry point. Compare the existing marquee and truncation options with the requested folding behavior; done means long names are readable by default and a user-facing folding option is available.
