.....or in the status bar in most editors.
Crikey, David, I think all those years of Windows usage has led to too-low
expectations.
:o)
Working on my trunk and various branches in my subversion working copy, I
can have one
editor session/window that has the same named-file opened but from
different branches, or
the trunk (for times when I'm testing pre- or post-merge). The way to tell
which file I'm
working on is via the editor status bar where the full path is given.
Same goes for my terminal windows. I have one X-window, but it contains
several tabs (for
different branches; or for when I'm compiling and running f95 code in one
tabbed session,
and displaying the results via IDL in another.)
I've been doing that for, crikey, nearly 8-9 years now on linux. Doesn't
*every* OS offer
that sort of functionality? (I don't think Mac's do, but they have that
handy fn-9 key
that "splays" out your desktop. Not ideal, but sufficient... and cool to
watch :o).
cheers,
paulv
