Data Panel Size

Is there a way to make the data panel larger so I can read the entire file names of components? I already have it set view as list. The preview images of the parts aren't helpful when you have many similar looking components or differ versions of the same or similar part.

I have the same question/problem. The thumbnails are way too small to provide any discernible differentiation between versions. And with the only other info being date and version number, I end up opening up multiple versions of a file just to to see which one I'm actually looking for. This is a super-circuitous workaround when the simple alternative seems to be just providing larger thumbnails.

Autodesk - any update to this.  It's really annoying to not be able to see the full text of the file name.  This would be like having the Finder on the Mac a fixed width.  Please fix this.

Yeah I often wonder if I'm just naming my files too long, but then I get solid files from a few clients that have part numbers and filenames generated through a complex system that keeps everything in check, and they're even longer. I have to use the "Rename" function to check the entire file name.

 

It's tedious.

 

Also, when are we going to get a "Parent folder" button. The breadcrumb arrow buttons are not intuitive the way they're currently set up. The home button should go to the Root folder of the project, and the data panel root folder should be a different icon altogether.
