Feature request: tab names without file extensions

fred9999

Hi,

Thank you all who are involved in developing this fantastic tool!

I would propose a new feature that would benefit a lot of code writers - possibility to hide file extension names from tab name

Tab name now: filename.ino
Tab name after: filename

I have well over 10 C++ program files opened in tabs at the same time and frequently switching between them. Because there are so many of them all tabs are not visible at the same time so switching between them needs scrolling the tab list. Not showing file extension names makes tab names shorter and there would be more tabs visible at the same time which makes switching between them easier / faster.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Fred

The general “code writer” wouldn’t like/use this, IMO (30+ years as a “code writer”).

But I think others have mentioned this a few times in the past; it has never gained any “traction”, probably because of what I said in the previous paragraph.

Regardless, this is not the place for a “feature request”, simply because there is an official mechanism; see this site’s FAQ if you want to pursue it, officially.
