Subject: [edit+] Wish list: Do not display path in title bar

Dear Sangil Kim:

When handling many files at the same time, from different directories,
it becomes rather impossible to determine which file you are currently working
on when the path displayed in the title bar of the window is very large. This
is especially true when you are using multiple instances of EditPlus and use
ALT+TAB to change between windows.

What I suggest is the following configuration option:

_X_ Display full path in titlebar

When unchecked, the titlebar will display only the filename. Another
alternative would be:

___ Abbreviate path in titlebar [xx]
(where xx is the max characters to display)

This last one would do something like this:

Original path: C:\some\insanely\long\path\to\the\filename.txt
Abbreviated: C:\...\to\the\filename.txt

(I believe it would be better to show the last directories, since they are
usually the most significant).

I have seen this behaviour implemented in other applications, but it would be a
great thing to have it as an *option* in EditPlus.

One more thing. While speaking of titlebars and path. Did you know that there
is no way to know the path of a file when using FullScreen (kiosk) mode? If
the file is in the current working directory, only the filename is displayed in
the tab (good), but there is no status bar nor title bar to show the path
(bad). Or am I missing something?

Thank you for a great product! :)
