Help--filename in active window title

Post by Laz »

Hi. Does anybody know how I can get textpad to display just
the filename (without the path) in the active window's title?

As it is, when I'm editing a file located in my standard windows
"documents" folder, I can't see the filename unless I maximize the window, which I rarely do.

Thank muchly,

Laz

Don't think it's possible, but it is an interesting idea. Perhaps, instead of just showing the name-but-not-path, best would be to show the name-plus-extension always, and "as much of the path before it as can fit in your title bar", separated by "...".

Submit this enhancement suggestion to support@textpad.com, if you really want this.

:idea:
This may be a work around for you:

:arrow: Create a Workspace and give it the name of the document. When you open a Workspace, its name shows up before the normal TextPad heading.

Just a passing thought....good luck..... :D
Hope this was helpful.............good luck,
Bob
