Inside a visual studio project I have the following folders (for example)

  • foo/
  • bar/
  • LongFolderName/

When I open up a file in LongFolderName/ the tab gets labeled with LongFolderName/L...me.ascx when I’d prefer LongFileName.ascx (omitting the name of the folder). Any way to set Visual Studio to ignore the folder name when labeling the tab?

EDIT: here is what my tab bar looks like:

Notice how the names of my files are truncated past readability. I’ve got “EventCalendar,” “MonthlyEventCalendar,” and “WeeklyEventCalendar” and as it stands its rather hard to tell the difference. I know that these files are in UserControls/. How do I get VS to stop telling me?

EDIT:
The name of the file in the Window | Windows menu is longfoldername/longfilename as is the title of the window if I switch VS to MDI interface.

    Tabs Studio add-in for Visual Studio that replaces built-in Visual Studio tabs doesn’t shorten tab names and has option to remove path from tab name.
