Hi, I have several files in my solution that are named the same. For example I have 14 files called build.cs. Would it be possible to add the the directory name the file is in in parentheses after the file?

build.cs(data)
build.cs(win32)
etc.

Would be a big help and would save me time of having to mouse over every one until I find the one I want.

Thanks

Do you ever use the Open File dialog? This lists the full path for the file, and in recent versions of VA it also lists the project that the file is part of.

By default Alt+Shift+O opens this dialog.

Hi feline, no I don't use it often, not a shortcut I'm used to. That being said if there was some way to dock it I probably would use it more.

My concern with adding a single directory name is that sometimes this will not help. Some people use a directory structure like:

c:\\project\\src\\foo.cpp
c:\\project\\include\\foo.h

at which point the parent directory name does not help. The problem with these situations is that you end up requiring the entire file path to be sure you are showing the correct information, which is unlikely to fit into VA View.
