Make the title bar in the IDE show the full path name of the currently opened file.

Status: Completed

We're currently in the era of the large widescreen monitor.  Can we have the title bar in the IDE show the full path name of opened instead of abbreviating it with '...' if the window is large enough to show the full path name?  Thanks.

I agree. The full path name does appear if you hover the mouse over the title bar but thats often too late.

 

The search function in cvi appears to hold the directory for the last search, this is not always the current loaded project. Many times I have modified code in the wrong project. Aaaargggh!

 

This would also help when comparing c code files, using notepad++ to compare files you can lock one of the files so it cannot be altered. this also give a nice graphic map showing where all the differences are.
