<pre>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]
