Option to display the END of names in the IDE, instead of the beginning of names - all the useful info in my names currently gets cut off! #8701

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Basically what the title says: It'd be nice to have an option to display the end of names in tabs and menus and stuff, instead of the beginning of them. A lot of my naming conventions have assets named the same way for the first twenty characters.... sPlayer_Walk_Left, sPlayer_Walk_Right..... SandTemple_Interior_RoomA2, SandTemple_Interior_RoomA3, etc....

It makes a lot of the names showing up in the IDE completely useless to me, because all the useful information is cut off. It seems like an easy add, and I think it'd help a lot of people out. We all prefix out assets with stuff like "room_" or whatever.... by the time actual information shows up in our names, they've already been cut off by the tab half the time. Thanks, guys!

Edit:

Also, maybe it'd be cool/useful to have an option to have tabs/names show the opposite of whatever they're set to show when you mouse over them.... so if they're set to show the beginning of the name, have them show the end of the name on mouse-over, and vice versa.

Thanks for considering, GM team!

interesting idea and he is absolutely right - from the very first tutorial on, users get used to prefix their spr_, obj_, ... things.
This is close to ancient hungarian notation and it has its benefits.

Once you have 15+ tabs open, you see 15 times "obj_..." on the screen.
so, a big yes from me!
