The area showing a patch name is fairly long, but still- for long names you can’t see the end of it without clicking on it.
If not possible or desired, I can deal. I often append numbers or other words at the end (like superlongpatchnameNewest1) but could always add that to the beginning instead of the end.
Yeah, this is something I’ve wanted for a long time. I won’t say it’s impossible but the way our graphics engine works makes it hard to have horizontal scrolling in lists that can be very long vertically (since we have to support directories of hundreds of patches). I’ve tried some “clever” work-arounds, but nothing that looks good and performs well yet.
Another idea that’s easier to implement is to have a “Tooltip” type box that displays the full name of the patch that you’re focussing somewhere on the screen. Sort of like how the name of the module appears over the module in Patch View.
I have it on the list!
Even more important than patch names are lists of long parameter names where many may start the same but we can’t see the whole thing.
