Thunar 4.18: Show the full file name

Hi,

after the update from 4.16 to 4.18 in thunar (compact view) there is only a short version of the file name with '...' in the middle. I can't find an option to disable this. Thunar 4.16 alsways shows the complete file name.

Re: Thunar 4.18: Show the full file name

xfconf-query --channel thunar --property /misc-compact-view-max-chars --create --type int --set 0

...will disable the ellipses.

Re: Thunar 4.18: Show the full file name

Thanks for the catch. They should all be dashes not underscores so I've fixed them all.
