I use NB with C++ in combination with jvi and often split the window vertical. When I have a lot of files open in a window, the title of the window is complete occupied with tabs. The problem is that I am not able to see the complete path/filename of the most right tabs, when hoovering over the tab. This is special annoying when I am editing in files with the same name. In our project we have for every class a filename. These file names exist in e.g. the <path>/States/<ClassName>.cpp and <path>/Stub/<ClassName>.cpp ------------------------------------- In the tabs only 2x *.pp's are shown as | <ClassName>.cpp | <ClassName>.cpp | ------------------------------------- It would be very handy that when you click on a tab, the file with the path you are currently editing is shown in the upmost window title right of <Project> - Netbeans IDE <version>
Reassigning to window system for evaluation.
Can be solved by using plugin: http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/42000/show-path-in-title

In Netbeans 8.0 you can find the option 'Show full file path' in Tools -> Options -> Appearance -> Document Tabs If you check this option, The full path of the activated tab is shown between tab panel and editor. Thanks for this small but helpfull improvement to the Netbeans team!
