            Bug ID: 125756
           Summary: [enhancement] [very useful in handling files] show
                    extention in the "preview" (recents)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.4.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: dreamerchris at disroot.org

Description:
as shown in the screenshot [1] you cannot see the extention of the file so same
named files with long name and different extention cannot be distinguished

well it has a workaround, you can hover the file and see the bubble but I have
a suggestion:

in many apps and programms when a filename is displayed at least the extention
is visible in the end like so: google-docs-sear...6_x64.odt

also in the same example you can add the last few chars, so, if two files are
named almost the same but some chars in the end are different, you can see the
difference!

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open libreoffice (you see the recent files) see [1]
2. no extention visible if the file name is big


Actual Results:
pic [1.1] no way to see last chars or at least extention so same named files
with different extention or almost same named files look the same (if they have
the same thumbnail then they are indistinguishable)

Expected Results:
show last few chars and extention as shown in a quick mockup [3.1]
