22947 - Shorten file names by removing part of the file path

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(CCK Graveyard :: CCK-Wizard, defect, P3)

Description

Can we do something about the file names for the animated/static logos or other
files.  I thought that we were going to change the file path text to be
c:/blah/blah/.../blah/smallanim.gif".  We need to be able to see the file name
on the UI.

We should insert an elipses to cause the total number of characters to remain
constant (and fit within the alloted space.)  The algorithm should be something
like take the first N characters and the last N characters and throw a "..."
between them.  We might want to modify that to break on "/" characters, but
that's extra credit (and possibly not better.)

Sounds good to me.  We do not need something fancy as long as we can see the
file names.

introduced a new CString display in the WIDGET structure that will now be used
for the display alone. the value will be stored in the Widget->value and the
gettrimfile will be used to get the corresponding display value for the file.
