show path with filename

Post by elisabethH »

To help you better we need some information from you.

*** Please fill in the fields below. If you leave fields empty or specify 'latest' rather than the actual version your answer will be delayed as we will be forced to ask you for this information. ***

Product, version and build: PrimalScript 8.1.181 Trial
Operating system: Win 10 1809 LTSC 64-bit
PowerShell version(s): 5.1.17763.3770
32-bit version of software? no

*** Please add details and screenshots as needed below. ***

Is it possible to show the filenames with path?
Depending on our deployment system we have lots of files called "inst.ps1" or "inst.bas"(vb) . Most times we open multiple of those files.
Using the mouse-over is not practicable.

Placing a full path on the tab is generally not feasible, as file paths can get quite long and you would not be helped, if we can only fit two or three tabs at a time. You would have to use the mouse to scroll to other tabs, which is probably the same, if not worse, as hovering.
You can use Ctrl+Tab to bring up the document selection window. As you repeatedly press Ctrl+Tab it will go through the list of open files and display the path on the bottom.

The full path of the active file is also always displayed on the caption bar.

Additionally, if you double click on an already open file in the file browser, it will activate that particular file.

Looking at your screen shot I would also recommend to add the .bas extension to VBScript or VB.NET in the options. It would at least give you some coloring for whatever BASIC dialect your file is.
