I just upgraded recently and installed the latest version of JRiver. Today I noticed that my file names on the main screen are pretty inconsistent with where they stick the ellipsis. For example, this is what I see on my screen:

d:\UserData\My Box Files\Media\Music\Michelle Branch\The Spirit ...
d:\UserData\My Box ...
d:\UserData\My Box Files\Media\Amazon\T.A.T.U_\Dangerous and ...

When I hover over the middle file, it says:
d:\UserData\My Box Files\Media\Music\Evanescence\Fallen\Evanescence-Whisper.mp3

It would be better if the ellipsis (...) were placed in not-so-granular of locations. For example, instead of ONLY putting ellipsis after white-space, maybe you could also allow them at directory boundaries. In this case, the above would now be:

d:\UserData\My Box Files\Media\Music\Michelle Branch\The Spirit ...
d:\UserData\My Box Files\Media\Music\Evanescence\Fallen\...
d:\UserData\My Box Files\Media\Amazon\T.A.T.U_\Dangerous and ...

That's not so bad. I actually have an idea of where the file is. What do you think?

Filenames all put the ... at about the same spot for me -- at the end of the column.

Where are you looking? Is there some other reason for the difference?
