Description kangaroody 2009-12-14 08:29:34 UTC 
In symfony(and probably other frameworks too) you always have to deal with many equally named files like actions.class.php or indexSuccess.php. 
Sometimes, when you have opened many of these files, you get mad distinguishing them.
So I think there should be additional information about the opened files somewhere. Currently, you can get the pathname of a file when you hover over the tab-bar above the editor. Unfortunately, you don't get this tooltip when you hover over an entry in the drop-down menu 'Show opened documents List'.
Finally the pathname of the file you're editing should always be shown somewhere, maybe in a status bar above or below the editor window.

Not PHP specific, so reassigning to IDE (I don't know the correct component, sorry).
Comment 2 Vojtech Sigler 2009-12-15 05:34:27 UTC 
Reassigning to editor for evaluation.

Bug number 59263 is actually an old duplicate of this bug, but i don't agree with Marian.

I think this should be prioritized and implemented, as it is really a pain when working with frameworks where files often is named the same.

Other IDEs and editors do this. At least make it an option.

It can be shown in the titlebar - so closing this as duplicate of 159722
