Now that my FB4 project is in my source control hierarchy, it’s also part of each branch that I create. That’s fine, but there are now multiple files with the same name on my machine, so it’s important to be sure which copy of the project I have open.
Other than the fact that it appears atop the recent projects list in the File menu, I don’t see any (obvious) way to verify the full path of the project file that I have open. If there is one, let me know!
If not, a suggestion: display a tooltip with the full project name in the tree-view of the Project tab when the user hovers over the root (project) node of the tree. I see that the treeview is already showing tooltips where there’s not enough available width for the view, but the tooltip contains only the file name, not the full path.

Hi Carl,
Go to Tools -\> Options -\> General Options -\> General and check “Show Full Project Path in Caption”. You can also check “Show Full Project Path in MRU” to see full paths in the recent menu.
Hth.

Thanks, Angus!
Funny - I’d already found “Show Full Project Path in MRU” but missed the other one. The full path in the window caption will meet my needs just fine.
