The full path of a file in the output window can be very long which makes the end of the line not visible till i scroll right.
How can i crop the path so just the parent directory and file name is visible ?

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.

Thanks for the reply.
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 .
