when I'm working with a project drawer and the file names are long, they get compressed to something like Exam...er.js. It would be really helpful if there was a way to quickly see the full filename. My suggestion is a tooltip. I have instances where i have several files with the same few beginning and end characters and I end up opening many of them to find the correct one.

I always use cmd+T to locate the file I want to use. Much quicker.
Unless I missed your question...

Hi,
when I'm working with a project drawer and the file names are long, they get compressed to something like Exam...er.js. It would be really helpful if there was a way to quickly see the full filename. My suggestion is a tooltip. I have instances where i have several files with the same few beginning and end characters and I end up opening many of them to find the correct one.
I made a custom command to deal with this. It both shows the absolute path to the current file I'm working on as a tooltip and copies this path to the clipboard (handy if I want to do something to it quickly via the terminal).
Details for Command "Copy / Show File Path":
Save: Nothing
Command(s): echo "$TM_FILEPATH" | pbcopy echo "$TM_FILEPATH"
Input: None Output Show as Tool Tip
Bind to your favorite key combo, for some reason I picked Cmd-Shift-C
Hope that helps,

It think what Dave is suggesting is something similar to the tooltip we now have that appears over tabs when you hover the cursor over the tab. I think this would be a great addition, and hopefully Allan will consider it, but I think we'll have to wait till TM2.0 for it.

There actually was a tool tip long ago -- it was horrible, always in the way. Each time you moved the mouse to the drawer, you would get a tool tip hiding the actual info you wanted to read.

Yes, and a few other things will make the name truncation less of a problem.
