file and folder names

[amar]

Binary package hint: backuppc

In a Gnome, the name of files and folders when too large can't be auto-shortened. I mean the full name is shown in that makes the folder look and structure a PIE (pin in the eye)
Include a backup program like HUBack, that is really flexible. More than one folder can be selected for backup. And the auto backup option that pops up in SBackup etc on every file change.. seems to be real buggy..

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't fix it because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem. We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures.
At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport, either via the appropriate application's "Help -> Report a Problem" menu or using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please provide the requested information? Thanks!

I wanted to give the details but I didn't get anything from that side for
long so I gave up. Similar thing happened with my "session lasted for less
than 10 seconds .. " bug or error. Fortunately I thought of creating another
user and then I am using it again but not that much.

My folder name bug or annoyance was this:

Suppose there is a file in a folder/dir in Ubuntu and it's name is something
long:
e.g. " *aaaaa bbbb* ccccccccccccccccccccc
dddddddddddddddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.pdf" - a pdf file.

Now when I am using my computer in Gnome then in the a folder or directory I
can either view smaller or medium sized icon or I can just customize the
size of icon. that's fine.
But problem starts with file/folder name. I doesn't get appended to a
shorter visible part of the name neither automatically nor I could find any
manual tweak or option. It shows the full name in the folder which makes it
all look so dirty.
I want it to behave like it behaves in Windows which is - the file name
visible in the folder will be limited to a smaller file name e.g. "*aaaaa
bbb..*" or so from the last example.

I hope, I cleared it this time. It happens with an out of the box Ubuntu
too.

I have a sense that I'm missing something here. What does this have to do with backuppc?

?

I believe this email has reached me by mistake.
