Document list at the tabs

Netbeans has a great option to show not only file name, but also parent folder's name in the document tab title (Options->Appearance->Document Tabs). This is really useful in many scenarios, e.g. in typical MVC folder layout, where you have multiple index view files for different records, like Books/Index Authors/Index etc. This option allows picking the right file, without it the document tabs would all be named "index".

Unfortunately this option does not work for document lists. Here we have only file name displayed, which in the example given means we have list of multiple "index" files.

So my proposal is to extend displaying of parent folder also for the open document lists:

1) the one that is already available when pressing "down arrow" icon on the right document tabs list
2) the list that can be invoked by selecting window->documents from menu or pressing Shift+F4

See the screenshots.
