Description
Something that legacy ES File Explorer had (and Google's garbage file manager still doesn't, a decade later) is that file names too long to show on screen were not abbreviated, but wrapped around into multiple lines.
For example, a file named VID_20240418_123456 beautiful landscape.mp4 would be shown as
VID_20240418_123456 beautiful
landscape.mp4
Instead of:
VID_20240418_123456 be…
or:
VID_20240418_…cape.mp4
This is especially important in vertical orientation where there is little width available.
Amaze File Manager already has text side-scrolling, and I appreciate that, but it would even be better if it could wrap around long file names so the entire file name is visible on screen.

Research direction
Locate the file-name display entry point in the Android app and review the existing text side-scrolling behavior. Check how long names render in vertical orientation, then verify that names wrap across lines so the full filename remains visible without abbreviation.
