Feature Request: Full pathname in editors list

(1/4) > >>

ironhead:
I have a workspace that has several projects on it.  Each of the projects share a common filename among them.  The problem is the tab in the editor only contains the filename, and when I have multiple tabs with the same name, it can get confusing as to which project it belongs to.

As a proposed solution, I'm wondering if one (or more) of the following could be implemented:


* a tooltip with the full path the file
* a tooltip with '<ProjectName>:<FileName>' type format
* have an option to display the format mentioned above in the tab
Other than that I am very impressed!  :)

thomas:
Are these only identical filenames, or are the pathnames inside the different projects all identical, too?

If it is just the filenames:

ironhead:
I have that option selected.  The identical filenames all also happen to be in the same relative location, being the root directory of the projects.

rickg22:
Someone requested to put the edited file's name in the title bar. I think it can be done trivially, will that suffice?

I also got the request of organizing the editor files just as the project tree, but that might need more work, since it's abou changing the tree's structure. (Right now it's very simple, one branch, just files).

i would suggest to show the full path/name of the file in the active editor in the status bar instead of the "Welcome to Code::Blocks"
and to show the active project's name in the title bar, as it is already implemented now.

the status bar already shows Line:, Colums: Info, so it's logically to display the filename there too.
