Description
Steps to reproduce
- create many files with similar filenames
- in Portrait mode very often essential parts are truncated and replaced by dots - mostly not usable.
- in Landscape mode the filenames are better readable, but only 3 at a time, a lot of scrolling is necessary.
Expected behaviour
more efficient use of available space
- smaller letters (configurable)
- wrapping instead of truncate
- don't display the file extension as the icon says it all (mostly)
Actual behaviour
Tell was what instead happens.

Research direction
Start with issue #2894's reproduction steps and screenshots by creating many files with similar names and comparing Portrait and Landscape modes in the iOS app. Clarify which presentation change is wanted among smaller text, wrapping, and hiding extensions; done means filenames are more readable with less scrolling in both orientations.
