I tend to name some files, which are in different folders, with the same name. Say source.nb
But when going back to open a specific file from one folder, using File->Open dialog, it does not show the full path of the file. Even a right-click on the file name, or hovering the mouse over the name, has no pop-up menu to show the full path name. This makes it hard to know in which folder any of these files are in. So I end up opening the wrong file many times. Here is a screen shot:
I looked at options and did not see a way to change this. It might be there and overlooked it. I search for “file” options. Using V 9.01 on windows.
Would any one know of a way to make it either display the full path name, or at least when hovering the mouse over the name, it will display the full path name in a small pop-up help display (which is the common way most applications handle this sort of thing).
` welcome window` I tried this method. But after I opened a file using it, the welcome window itself seems to have disappeared completely after the file was opened.
Hence I can’t use it any more to open other files. Is there a way to make the welcome window show again?
I do not understand your second method `TableForm[NotebooksMenu /. Options[$FrontEnd]]`. After I issue this command, what do I do with it?
I can’t send email to support asking for feature request, since I do not have premier service at this time. May be someone here who have premier service can do that. This feature would be good thing to have. Almost any app I use allows one to see the full path name of a file in its dialog.
Update
I have posted this question at stackexchange. So I will follow it up there. Thanks for your help.
