Hi everybody!

I have a request for a future version of BC:

I compare folders including files with very long names. Sometimes they are so long that the get truncated because of the maximum window size and three dots are added at the end of the name. It is very hard to figure out for example the extension of such a file.

This behaviour may be well known from the windows explorer. But in that GUI tooltips are shown when you move the mouse over such a truncated name. BC hasn't got such a feature yet (2.4.1), or am I blind?

I would like to see it in a near future release :D .


Bye
Christoph

Hello Christoph,

BC doesn't have this feature yet. Base folder paths show tooltips, but filenames in the the left/right panes don't show tooltips.

Displaying the filename in a tooltip is on our wish list. Thank you for suggesting it!
