Tuncate files names in the middle

»One of my earliest UX wins was for Mac System 7. The Finder team wanted to
truncate files names with '…' if it wouldn’t fit. I argued that too much
critical info would be lost and suggested it be in the middle instead. The
Finder team loved it and implemented it later that day. They were so easy to
work with.

I'd totally forgotten about it until I overheard someone commenting it was an
example of Apple's attention to detail. I'd didn't say anything at the time but
yeah, that was me ;-) «

Please implement this in Dolphin too! Looks so much better!
