Feature description

Thanks for all the work on this project.

I'd like to suggest an option to wrap long filenames onto a second line instead of truncating them. I think this was discussed before (https://www.reddit.com/r/Fossify/comments/1gjjhrr/file_manager_how_do_see_the_entire_file_name/), but I wanted to raise it again.

Why do you want this feature?

This would make it much easier to distinguish files that share the same beginning of their name. Many file managers support this, and it would be a nice usability improvement.
