Title: Tab panel width
Post by: t0123 on June 22, 2015, 08:55:51 am

Hi all,

I am having the following problem.
In editor, the headers of tab panels display the full path and name of the opened files.
Due to this, I cannot see many tabs on the screen, in order to quickly switch between them by clicking with mouse.
To do this I have to either reopen the same file from the files tree or use a small arrow on the left side of tabs panel to scroll to the needed tab.

Is it possible to overcome this issue by for example changing the width of tab headers?

Cheers,
Vitaliy

Settings -> Editor -> General -> Other editor settings -> name only (at the bottom).

@devs: Would you mind if I switch the default for this option?

Thanks, it works! :)

I think the default for this option makes more sense than the full path.

Cheers,
Vitaliy

I use short name myself. so, I am ok with this change.

Me, too.

However, one thing I've noticed: Previously, when hovering over the tab the full path name was shown as hint. This does not work for me anymore on Windows. When switching to short path having this feature "back again" would make most sense.

On the latest nightly build rev10341, sometimes, it shows the hints. See image shot below:

But most of the time, it doesn't. I guess it is a bug.
