I use TextMate to do Rails development, so a window title like "index.rhtml" isn't all that helpful since I need to know *which* index.rhtml it is -- something I can determine by seeing what directory it's in. Please show the project (not file system) path in the window title bar, such as (in the index.rhtml case above):
site/app/views/member/index.rhtml
Thanks for a great product,
Eric
In case you didn't know: You can hold down the command key and click on the title to see a list folders that represent the path of the file.
It's not exactly what you wanted but it does show you where your file is.

This has been discussed in the past, my latest comments on the subject:

Although with full path in that letter, I only mean enough so that it is not ambiguous.
Allan,
I think the option you proposed would help, but I would still like to have the ability to show full project paths at all times (perhaps as a hidden preference).
In the mean time, I've implemented a SIMBL hack to give me that functionality (I'm dynamically overriding -displayName on OakDocument to show the last 3 file path components, which is all I need at this time). I hope you'll include native support in a future release.
Best, Eric

that sounds reasonable. I second this. perhaps even using a slider in the preference pance:
number of parents to show in document title: 0---1---2---3---4---infinite (like the folder depth widget in the quicksilver catalog preferences)
or perhaps as a project specific setting: have a menu entry in the contextual menu of the project drawer "include until here in docuemnt path".
that might be even better: if you set a fixed depth to say, 3 and then move down one folder you could end up with 'trunk' as your root.

How about just highlighting the file you are working on in the project drawer?
