Line folding in Ibuffer

Line folding in Ibuffer

[Lorenzo Isella]

Dear All,
A quick one (I suppose): when I invoke ibuffer, long path names are not 
visualized entirely. How can I have those long paths folded within the 
screen width so that I can read them effortlessly?
I am using screen-lines.el
http://homepage1.nifty.com/bmonkey/emacs/elisp/screen-lines.el
to achieve precisely this e.g. when editing a text file, so I am sure 
this has to be doable for ibuffer as well.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Cheers

Lorenzo

Turn off `truncate-lines' in that buffer.

Hi,

do you know this
  ,----
  | ` runs the command ibuffer-switch-format, which is an interactive
  | compiled Lisp function in `ibuffer.el'.
  | 
  | It is bound to `, <menu-bar> <view> <switch-format>.
  | 
  | (ibuffer-switch-format)
  | 
  | Switch the current display format.
  `----
Create your own format by customizing ibuffer-formats.

  | ((mark modified read-only " "
  | 	   (name 45 45 :left :elide)
  | 	   " "
  | 	   (size 9 -1 :right)
  | 	   " "
  | 	   (mode 16 16 :left :elide)
  | 	   " " filename-and-process)
  |  (mark " "
  | 	   (name 16 -1)
  | 	   " " filename)
  |  (mark modified read-only " " " " filename-and-process))
