Show full path in tab name

Help & Support
1

Hello,

I'm a software developer frequently working across many directories that share the same relative end folder name. For instance:

C:\Example.git\Server1\config
C:\Example.git\Server2\config

I would like to adjust the default tab naming behavior in Directory Opus to always show the full path. I understand this would make the tabs wider, but it's preferable to having multiple tabs all named identically as e.g. "config".

Is there an option or a setting to change the default tab naming format globally? I've searched through the preferences and checked the forum but couldn't find a clear solution. Renaming each tab individually isn't practical, as I regularly handle thousands of server directories that change frequently.

Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think there's anything in the settings, but there are a few scripts that will help:

If you use Tab Groups, you can name tabs anything at all while in that tab group. You can have multiple tab groups for various purposes.

See Prefs PAGE="foldertabgroups"

Take a look t this button for ideas.

Thank you both for your answers. I found a script that does exactly what I needed:

I don't use Tab Groups, but they look very useful. I've still got a lot to learn here. :slight_smile:

Best wishes,
