Hello,
I often use project names with a long path (exceeds half of the status bar), also to win some characters I offer this fix that works on 'hand.cpp' also avoiding some translations.
to improve future readability of long names, how would it be if we shorten the start of the file, until it has place in the status bar (if it is to long)? And add some hover tooltip to show the full path?
just an idea, i have no idea if this is implementable....
This is another modification , which I forgot to remove !
I use different versions of 'CB' and it is to have an immediate reading of the constituent elements (eg : CodeBlocks-r1803-wx316-gcc810) without having to open the "help->about".

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The previous oversight indicated another way.
The title bar offers more characters to accommodate the full name of a file (variable length).
The status bar holds the full name of the application which is of fixed size.
Also I wrote the (modified) title in the status bar and the full file name in the title bar !!
I kept the modifications on the width of the fields in the status bar (by laziness).
Disadvantage of this test : the status bar is used for the help texts of different actions.
But without any action, the title modified is visible, so the information I was looking for is there.
The title bar could also be used for everything: 'file + project + application information' because there are more characters available?

How does changing the app title interfere with the text in for example windows task bar? Now only the file title is visible, is this still the case when you add full path?

Keep in mind: the title bar displays the same text as the editor tab, this is influenced by the setting in Editor->Other editor settings->Label editor tab is the files....

Well, this is for 'cb-12813'
1- for the title field, I simply put "project file name + ' :: ' + full file name" .
It is thus independent of the editor's display
2- for the status field [0] , I put "Code::Blocks, r12813, sdk2.18.0, wx3.1.6, gcc8.1.0"
This field will also show all the classic indications of the status bar when they are running and will return to this display afterwards
'hand.cpp' => 'main.cpp'

I had neglected this aspect, as I never use it. Thanks.
For the title, I simply put 'short file name + project name' in front of it.
We could ask the developers for their opinion ?
