After updating to 1.4.9 I went to load a file and see this. Noiw I have to load each file to see the name in the Run view. This us standard Vectric naming.
I wonder if this is a by-product of the institution of dynamic scaling?
I only briefly looked at interface last night post upgrade and my initial impression was everything was a bit ‘beefier’. Something I kind of appreciate as my eyes aren’t what they used to be, but I can see if they’ve upscaled the font size as part of the dynamic scaling, you’re going to have far less useful information, particularly with the file name.
I’m not certain what to suggest as RTCNC attempts to balance competing wants and needs of their end users while maintaining a unified interface across multiple operating systems, interface orientations and screen sizes/resolutions. They could add settings to adjust what columns are present or even set a max font size, etc. but that starts adding complexity to both the code base and the user experience.

Agreed, its a thorny problem and I don’t know what they are using for UI layout. I do know that seeing the file name is important. Some space could be obtained by switching to YYMMDD-HHMMSS which would add 5 characters. In meantime, I will just make script to monitor the folder and rename the files.

+1 to the date suggestion, I think that’s valid and valuable, plus as a computer guy I’m a fan of the big endian time format, particularly for fast sorting.
Personally I could do without file size, but I’ve only been at this a bit and that may be incredibly important info to other users. I have had 0K file’s make it down to the machine but by the time I’ve discovered them, I still had to run up to my office and resend the files.
I’ve started just making sure the file size is correct when I upload it to the machine, which seems like a viable workflow in my use case.
