Displaying only filename on tabs

The tabs at the top of the editor area displays the full path. Because the
paths are long the middle gets truncated and replaced with "...", making
them difficult to read (lots of files, controls, code behind, etc). Is there
a way to display just the file name (to exclude the path part of the name)?

Thanks,
ccallen

AFAIK not, but it is fixed in the Visual Studio 2005 demos that I have seen.

It seems to be fixed in my version of 2003... I don't get any path
information displayed, just filenames (which get '...'ed if they're too
long). Maybe there's a setting somewhere that changes it? I've never had
pathnames displayed.

Pathnames appear both in VS.NET 2002 and VS.NET 2003 in the following cases:

- If the file is inside a subfolder of the current project folder.
- If the file is linked to some folder somewhere outside the project folder.

Of course (Thank God), the path does not appear if the file is in the
project folder.

BTW, I am not sure now if VS.NET 2005 fixes those 2 cases or not. I will
check at home...
