I dont think you can change how it draws the names.

Yes, there is no option to set the full display file name?

Hi
As far as i have seen, sadly not.
Normally the 25 chars long file name is enough.

One option is to "tool tip" it

How come your file names are so long, if i may ask ?

@mrjj
Sometimes the name is longer for file categorization. There is no need to limit the width of the file name drop-down box. I recommend that the editor be improved here.

Then you should provide a change request at Qt bug tracker. Asking here for features will most probably not help.
