find path of file?

[THE_AI]

Hello there!
Is there an easy way to find the path of the file I'm editing?
I'm developing components for Joomla with the MVC pattern and it happens often that I have 10 files with the name view.html.php and I never know which file belongs to which view. Perhaps the tabs could show the path to the file or folder_name/file_name.php
And the main window of netbeans - instead of showing the project name, could show the whole path to the file edited.
Also an easy way to copy the path of the file would be great.

Try hovering the mouse over the editor tabs. You should be able to see a
tooltip with the full path name.

..This reminds me. A really great little feature would be if a right-click on the file tab would allow you to copy the filename+path to the clipboard. This is possible in PsPAD and it is very addictive

Hey Jan,
Yes, I'm aware of that feature. However, I was speaking for something like Kristian wrote.

Now imagine following situation.
You are writing an extension for Joomla and you have 10 views.
Every view lies in its own folder
views/view1
views/view2
.....
views/view3

in these folder 1,2,3 you always have the the file view.html.php
If you open all these 10 files and work on them, then you have 10 tabs that are called view.html.php.
So every view must have a template - the standart template name is default.php
Ok not only you have 10 view.html.php, but you also have 10 default.php files open. How can you manage to find the right one without clicking on each one or hovering with the mouse and waiting for the tooltip to appear.

That's why I offered to show folder_name/file_name instead of only file_name.
This way you could fast find the needed file.
view1/view.html.php
view2/view.html.php

Good point, such functionality is not available in NetBeans 6.5. I'm
able to add it for PHP files in the next version. It's not hard. But
then it will work just for PHP files. It would be better to solve it for
all IDE: http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=153772

Thanks,

Hi,
I have the same problem and I´m also interested in such a feature. It would be very nice to have the path on window top, and an automatic "Select in...project" syncronized with project pane.
Thanks

Hi,

you are right this features is not presented. Now you can use shortcat
CTRL+ SHIFT + 1 to navigate to the project view from opened file or CTRL
+ SHIFT + 2 to navigate to the files view. You can also use CTRL +
SHIFT + 3 navigate to the Favorite view.

Regards,
Petr

bumb: i like to see this simple feature to. Or something where you at least in one quick view can see what files currently are opened in your IDE.

It actually would revert to PHP edit only because of this little thing!
