Hi!
Would it be possible to show the full path of a file somewhere, for example in the title bar? Currently it's not easy to keep apart two files with the same name but different locations.
Regards, Lars

According to Lars Hoss:

I can answer that one: if you are in a project with tabs, just hover on the tab itself, a tooltip will appear with the full path...
In single file edits though, I don't see it.

ooh, please not. i frequently work with remote files and would hate to see all those temporary folders up there.
apart from the tooltips you can also just apple-click into the title and it will show you the path.

I don't like having the full path in the title because it's non-standard (and ugly ;) ). But I do see the problem, so yesterday on IRC I think there was consensus that a good solution would be, that I only show full path, when more than one file is open with the same name.
So a dis-ambiguity feature similar to the Recent Items-menu, which also only display the full path when there are ambiguities.
Comments are welcome!

I'm also against the full path option for the same reasons. It'd get real messy.
A quick thought I had is that the file path could be kept as short as possible by showing it to the point where it becomes unique. So instead of the full path:
/Users/Simon/Documents/Code/AS/org/helvector/date/util/Compare.as /Users/Simon/Documents/Code/AS/org/helvector/currency/util/Compare.as
they're cut down to
date/util/Compare.as currency/util/Compare.as

Good idea! I've already seen this somewhere but forgot where.

Just as a suggestion: Why not show it like the 'Open Recent' Menu does it? http://members.lycos.co.uk/staff/tm/open_recent_with_folder.jpg
