"Home" screen display format not useful - use a list with full file name and date instead
The format of the MuseScore "Home" screen is not very useful - most of the space is taken up with a thumbnail of the first page of a number of scores, and below that is the score title truncated to something like 24 characters plus ellipsis. And below that an imprecise indication of the file date.
My score titles tend to be rather long, including the name of the composition followed by a version number and the date. If I am working on a particular score, I may create quite a few versions of a title like, "Mary Had a Little Lamb - score v5.09 - 14 Mar 2023" where the title does not change but the version and date do. If I open the MuseScore 4 application the Home screen does not allow me to differentiate because it doesn't display enough characters of the file name. And the thumbnails are not detailed enough to show any differences either - even if there are differences on the first page of the score, which may not be the case.
See attached screen shot.
So to get the score I want I have to navigate in my file manager application to the score I want and double-click to open it in MuseScore.
I would prefer to see a file listing that displays the complete file name and its date info rather than a thumbnail display.
