Feature: Display path hint when multiple tabs have the same folder name

[Bibipp45]

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

Would it be possible to display the full path for each tab as original on the file explorer and not just the name of the open folder please.

Requirements

• Display part of path when multiple tabs have the same name
• Use the following format "folder name" "drive letter" "first letter of parent folder"

Files Version

3.0.8

Windows Version

10.0.22631.2715

Thank you for the feedback, we'll consider this suggestion but in case you weren't aware, you can view the full path by hovering over the tab.

original on the file explorer and not just the name of the open folder please.

Is there a way to enable this in File Explorer?

Yes I know that the path is visible when hovering but it is not practical when moving a file or folder. On the original explorer the option to enable full path is here: "... /Options /Display/Show full path in title bar" Le mar. 5 déc. 2023, 04:27, Yair ***@***.***> a écrit :

That's for the title bar, do they have a way to enable it for the tabs as well?

The issue with displaying the path on the tab itself is that longer paths would be cut off and the actual folder wouldn't even be visible. This issue would be amplified in dual pane mode where both folder names are displayed on the tab.

I suppose we can display a hint without displaying the full path (similar to VS Code), would this help for your use case?

Yes it can be quite good, to try Le mer. 10 janv. 2024, 00:42, Yair ***@***.***> a écrit :
