    Too often I find myself putting the right column of the project browser into list view so I can see the full file names of my files, because at max icon size, the editor only shows up to 15 characters of the file name, then going back to icon mode for visual assets and the like because it's too much of a hassle to try to remember what the file name of the model I'm looking for is. I've come up with two possible solutions:
    • Displaying file names over at least two lines in icon mode.
    • Setting icon size (and by extension, the choice between list and icon view) per folder.

    Couldn't agree more. I'm actually surprised nobody sells a project browser on the asset store. There is so much potential there.

    Thanks both, will get back to our PM and Dev leads and see what we can do - we have had design suggestions around this issue in the past and it needs resolving for sure.
