The problem is that tables automatically expand to fit non-wrapping
lines. There are a few possible solutions:

Restrict the width of cells in that column to a fixed or percentage
width, hiding overflow.
 con: hidden information
 con: awkward to resize when the rest of the cols are unrestrained

Automatically break filenames every n characters to line wrap on display.
 con: altered information

Don't display past character n.
 can: missing information

Being an information junkie, I don't like any of these solutions. If
there is a consensus or a better idea I'll try to make that work.
