I have experienced where this can be problematic - having multiple applications running and needing to quickly verify what file is being edited without having to refocus the editor, can make the path being visible somewhat frustrating.
I have found that I am OFTEN editing multiple documents in NPP and as a result, the text on the toolbar button has become almost useless to me, and I suspect that it is for those others who use it to edit multiple files concurrently. So, I can see no immediate reason why it would be bad.
...
Now that I've stated that, I think that the window title and the task bar text are tied together in the windows API. I would have a HUGE problem if the full path wasn't shown in the window title...
The more that I am thinking about this I am thinking that there is an option to do what you are wanting - display of file name only in title?
Go ahead and search thru the GUI and also herein and on the mainpage for NPP. This smacks of familiarity...
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hello,
Please, when Notepad + + is reduced in the taskbar, how can you have only the name of the file instead of the full path?
Thank you.
Best regards
