The full path of a file presented in the output window is very long which makes
it difficult to read (the interesting information is at the end of the line).
How can i crop the path , but leave out only the parent directory and file ?

We create a HTML file in the Project Name\Debug Folder. If you navigate to
the Debug folder you will find the BuildLog.htm, and be able to review
contents of the output window.

I wasn't referring to the result of a build , but the actual view in the output window during , lets say "find in files" and the list of files are appearing with full path name which can be quite long . I need to know if there is a way to make only the parent directory visible .
