    Description

      Hi,

      First of all, I would like to apologize if I didn't choose the right component:I picked "Other" because I really have no clue about the component concerned by what I will describe.

      I am here because I reported a bug on the KDE Bugtracking system and I was asked to report the problem here.

      I hope it is the good place and the right way to ask for this enhancement.

      Kind regards,

      Hyoga

      Below are the first two messages of the ticket on KDE Bugtracking system:

      1. My message :

      I like to use camelCase to name my files and folders. It can be long names, which need several lines to display when using icons view (the default). But line returns occur whenever some maxlength is reached, not at the end of a word.

      For instance, I have created a file called aVeryLongFilenameJustAsAnExample and Dolphin splits the name like that :

      aVeryLongFilena
      meJustAsAnExam
      ple

      Dolphin can already split filenames into several lines using some characters : spaces and underscores, afaik.

      It would be great if some mechanism could split camel case filenames.
      The logic would be like : if the filename doesn't contain any space nor underscore but is too long to fit on one line, split it after a lowercase character followed by an uppercase character.

      I would greatly appreciate if this feature could be added in the future to Dolphin.

      Thanks to all for Dolphin and the Whole KDE project. I really enjoy using it everyday since years.

      2. Answer:

      Dolphin uses Qt to wrap the label, so it needs to be added there. Please suggest a smarter implementation of the "wrap anywhere" mode directly to Qt developers via https://bugreports.qt.io/
