Hi,
After opening a project I can’t really find anywhere in the FB IDE where I can see the full path to the project file. When you have build projects in multiple branches it is a little difficult figuring out what file/branch you have open in the IDE.
In Delphi/VS if I hover the mouse over the tab for a file I can see the full path for the file. Could you pleased add something similar to FB? Thanks.
br Lars

We do have the variable FBPROJECT that holds the full path to the project currently open. However its sounds as though you desire something more visible. I believe it won’t be too much trouble to add the project file path to the hint of the file in the project tree.

Hi Lars,
It turns out the project information node in the project tab tree has the project path. Does this suit your needs?

Also, on the finalbuilder Design time IDE Options, “Show Full Project Path in Caption”

It would be very usefull to also add it as mouseover hint on the project tabs.
Please 🙂
