http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:31222

Am I the only one thinking that the way Thingiverse displays long filenames
(that are supposed to create order)
is broken?
Having the elipsys before the last 3 characters is a bad idea since the
last 4 characters (including the dot)
often just denote the file type.
Nobody prepends version numbers or exported format names, everyone appends
them to the end of names
so alphabetic sorting works.

I wouldn't mind too much, if there was a tooltip I could use (i.e.
mousehover over filename -> displays full filename as a tooltip).  But at
last check, it didn't even do that...

Short filename requirements are what.. circa 1987?...  oh, and the Makerbot
Replicator's SD card reader.  ;)

Tooltip shows the full filename now - not sure if it was an easy fix that
only just went in, or maybe a browser issue on my PC.  Apologies if it was
the latter.
