My website has several nested folders and sometimes long file names, so sometimes only 4 tabs can be opened at a time.

  1. Can vs2010 be made to show only file names and leave out any path information?

  2. Can the max displayed length for tabs be set?

I know the window can be split so top and bottom both have their own tabs.

For example (using the “Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools”):

enter image description here

Showing the files:

  • …r.aspx.cs
  • …s.aspx.cs
  • …s.aspx.cs
  • …s.aspx.cs
  • …s.aspx.cs

For example (not using the Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools):

enter image description here

Showing the files:

  • Adminstration/…quests.aspx.cs
  • Adminstration/…tUsers.aspx.cs
  • Adminstration/…ctions.aspx.cs
  • Adminstration/…eBanks.aspx.cs

    Try installing the “Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools” extension from the Extension Manager in VS. It adds a new section to the standard option dialogue that allows you to customise what they call the “Document Tab Well.”

    It doesn’t let you truncate the filename, but you can change the way they draw and scroll, which might be enough to help.
