Make possible truncate modes for long file names

dalbocha commented 4 years ago

In staging area and in commit details area file names with activated "View as List" option are offen to long and do not suit into text are. They all are truncated at the end. It makes them difficult to read.

I suggest to introduce truncate modes like GitExtensions tool already do.

Possible options:

do not truncate long file name at all: LongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongPath\MyFileName.ext
trim start of the long file names ...ongLongLongPath\MyFileName.ext
trim end of the long file name (what Fork does already) LLongLongLongLongLongLongLongLongPath\My...
truncate in the middle of the long file name: LongLongLongLong...th\MyFileName.ext
show file name only without path: MyFileName.ext

WPF doesn't allow to customize truncating.

Maybe show at least tooltip with full file name? Another possibility is to override default TextBox used in all WPF list controls with user control, supporting custom truncation: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/676519cd-4cb4-43cb-8a4d-b67e28e0f73d/how-to-get-ellipsis-in-the-middle-of-the-text?forum=winappswithcsharp

In Fork 1.53 we added tooltips for trimmed items.
