Make filepath/name in QtDragon right justified?

I find when running QtDragon gcode the filename in the box above the qcode is cut off, I only see the left side of the path/filename. I really want to see the right side because the filename is more important to see than the path. Sounds petty but sometimes while running 10 different sheets on the router at 1AM, I second guess myself on which file I am running...

Thanks,
Kent

What if you just made the font smaller? Then you'd see more of the path. In the stylesheet:
QCombobox {
...
font: 10pt "Lato Heavy";
...
}

Right justified and then having hover display the full path might be ok?

I pushed a quick change for the tooltip.

This is the relevant change (one line)
    def load_code(self, fname):
        if fname is None: return
        filename, file_extension = os.path.splitext(fname)
        if not fname.endswith(".html"):
            if not (INFO.program_extension_valid(fname)):
                self.add_status("Unknown or invalid filename extension {}".format(file_extension))
                return
            self.w.cmb_gcode_history.addItem(fname)
            self.w.cmb_gcode_history.setCurrentIndex(self.w.cmb_gcode_history.count() - 1)
            self.w.cmb_gcode_history.setToolTip(fname) # add this line
          ...

There is two places in the handler code to add this line.
