Column width in Open & Save dialog boxes
Does anybody know if there is a utility that allows the full filename to be displayed in the column view within the Open & Save dialog boxes?
Because of our workflow, each file must be named like so:
12345-ClientName-DescriptionPlacedHere_4.pdf
The first five digits are the job number, followed by the client's name and a description of the file, then theres the revision number and the file extension. This ensures that you can tell exactly what a file is without having to open it.
At the moment, whenever I'm in any application and I go to the open or save dialog boxes I can only see the first few characters because the name is truncated. It doesn't matter how far you 'grow' the box, the column widths don't expand accordingly ? which is a bummer on a 23" display!

Drag the divider between column names to the right.

Mmmm?
So I don't suppose you know if there is a utility that will enable this functionality in Carbon apps (like Photoshop, InDesign)?
Why not just use list view?
