Description suseu 2011-12-05 14:54:50 UTC 
Feature request:
I often have multiple files with the same name opened. It would be nice to have customizable tab name, so it could contain folder name, etc. Option for that could be stored as string like '%FOLDER_NAME%\n%FILE_NAME%'. New line character indicates that the tab name is displayed in two lines.
Also document list invoked with Shift+F4 and Ctrl-Tab could optionally contain folder information.
Please let me know if I can be of some help.

I attached mark-up of how I imagine such solution. First line shows file name, the second with smaller font shows parent folder \ folder information. The color bars at the bottom of the tab show color assigned to a project for easier recognition.

@Stanislav: Very nice. Thank you.

But are the following options for?
* show full file path (where it is shown?)
* project coloring (i haven't seen any change; several projects were opened)

In a small font just below the tabs.

Ok. This works. I had to restart NB to enable the feature.

It should work without restart, I'll fix it.
