Description yadav 2010-03-13 05:00:38 UTC
issue 1)
when I have files with the same name open, if I use the 'down arrow' (show open doc) button on the ide, located top right, I only get the names of the files, what is missing is the distinguishing path. therefore I can't easily navigate to the right file.

in a rails project this is a real problem because you can have many views with the same name i.e. 'index.html.erb' but each is located in it's own sub-folder.

what would be nice is to show the complete path to the document, or even a partial path with project sub-folders. NOTE you may also have a file open from outside of the project in which case it makes more sense to show the complete path.

issues 2)
also the same problem exists when I see the name of the file in the tab, i know i can hover to see complete path, what would also be nice is to display the complete path of current selected tab in the ide titlebar, or along the bottom in the statusbar

I know this isn't easy, but Petre could you please add yourself on CC for any issue that you are dispatching from the 'IDE' product in bugzilla? This way you could learn where various things in the IDE are implemented and where to dispatch them. Thanks

you can see full file path at main window's status bar when switching documents with ctrl+tab or the popup switcher
