Description

I work with long-named files and it would be more important to see as much of the beginning of the file name as possible as the end of it offers little informational value.

Could we have different options for file name ellipsizing? I would be totally okay with it as a hidden expert option.

My ideas for the options:

* ellipsize the beginning of the file name
* ellipsize the middle of the file name
* ellipsize the end of the file name
* ellipsize the end of the file name, except the extension (where the extension is all the characters after the last dot)
