That was indeed my concern :)
this can also be a problem if you're not working from your home dir. I can
see this happening a lot (personally when I used to do collab work, rather
than sanely using CVS or similar, we just all worked on an exported NFS
share with a *long* path).
Maybe you can make this an option ? I can't think of any way of reliably
knowing when the user won't be able to see the end of the path string in
the titlebar :/
I would suggest to default to full/relative path on a certain length,
otherwise just filename, so the standard thing can get 95% of the cases
right.
What do you think ?
thanks
