Title: How do I turn off full path names in displayed tabs?
Post by: MarkS on August 06, 2013, 12:31:36 am

I cannot seem to find the option in any settings that will turn off full path names in tabs. This makes navigating tabs quite difficult, especially when more than a few files are open at once. I don't need to see the path, just the file name.

How do I turn this:

The exact place for the option depends on the version of C::B you use.

In 12.11 and newer (nightlies), it's in "Settings -> Editor... -> General settings -> Other settings -> Editor title is the file's -> name only".

In older revision, it should be the same, but without the "Other settings" part.

Thanks! I completely missed the "Other Settings" tab! :-[
