Feature request : displaying long preset names

This topic has merit ... IMHO

Lanny

I agree with the need. Looking at Steingraeberxxxyyydddeee etc as opposed to Steingraeberxxxyyydddfff etc causes me to go back and select the particular one I need rather than risk editing the wrong one. One I've used in the past reads SteingraeberConcertGrandES7MozartSampl in the preset list, which is already shorter than the whole: Sampl is the start of Samplicity and then the resonance setting of the Samplicity file, i.e. m&d which I was using at the time. On the UI it stops at the 'r' in Mozart. Getting rid of the redundant ES7 wouldn't eliminate the issue. Using abbreviations might help, but if, for instance Mozart was shortened to M, it could still be confusing for the m which is short for medium.  Not immediately, but months/years later, unless it's only one of very few? Yes, M and m are different but I frequently see lower case instead of upper case on the screen, because my typing is such that the shift key clearly gets released before the character key, I assume.

Sorry for the excessive length: stress caused by frustration at not being able to get food and an urgent need to get rid of it by venting. Sorry, please bear with me.

Version 7 perhaps?

One thing that could help, and it's a bug in my opinion, is to redisplay the preset names correctly in its entirety when the preset manager is detached and stretched horizontally or shown full screen. Presently, a truncated preset name stays truncated with three dots at the end even with a wider name field. Only when you select a shortened name can you have its complete name displayed at the bottom.

I like choice #1 - hover to see long names.
