Wrap Filenames #4155

@HT-7

Description

@HT-7

Something that legacy ES File Explorer had (and Google's garbage file manager still doesn't, a decade later) is that file names too long to show on screen were not abbreviated, but wrapped around into multiple lines.

For example, a file named VID_20240418_123456 beautiful landscape.mp4 would be shown as

VID_20240418_123456 beautiful
landscape.mp4

Instead of:

VID_20240418_123456 be…

or:

VID_20240418_…cape.mp4

This is especially important in vertical orientation where there is little width available.

Amaze File Manager already has text side-scrolling, and I appreciate that, but it would even be better if it could wrap around long file names so the entire file name is visible on screen.
