Description public 2014-08-22 14:47:00 UTC
Some times you have to open two, three or more files simultaneously, with the same name but a different location. Right now it's very complicated to distinguish which is which by looking at the window title. You have to go to the menu "File -> Properties" to find out this information, which makes you waste some precious time.

So it would be very useful to have an option to show the full path of the file in the window title, instead of the file name only.

Thanks.

I'm agree with that, at least the actual directory and one or better a couple of precedents directories.
Comment 2 m.a.riosv 2014-08-22 16:49:19 UTC
I think better target version 4.4, no new features in the previous versions.
Comment 3 m.a.riosv 2014-08-23 16:42:24 UTC
Why the importance was changed to low?

It is a really useful enhancement.

I think this sounds good, but I would would like it not as standard, maybe LO should detect it itself if two files with the same name are open.  In addition, it could be an alternative option the user can choose if he/she likes it.

Another recommendation for display of 'full path' in filename field (as a user-selectable option).

If space is too limiting perhaps it could be done in a way similar to URL flyovers -- i.e., full path displayed only when mouse pointer is moved over the 'filename.'
