3. feel sad (especially as there's a bunch of other different files in the room with similar names and you now have to hoverover to see which is which)
### Outcome
#### What did you expect?
don't randomly truncate the filename; cap it at the width of the timeline or something.
#### What happened instead?
arbitrary sad truncation.
