When browsing a directory, file names longer than 23 characters get truncated. Anyone know how to adjust this? thx

Hello jkoch1, welcome to WebmasterWorld!

Automatic directory listing is handled by Apache's mod_autoindex. It has a directive called IndexOptions, and one of the options is NameWidth. More info in the manual [httpd.apache.org].

It depends on your server's settings whether you can set directory listing on a per directory basis, ie in .htaccess.
