Description bruce.lilly 2004-08-26 23:56:25 UTC
Version:           3.3 (using KDE 3.3.0, SuSE)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.5-7.104-default

Given two directories displayed in Konqueror tabs
/foo/bar/baz/src
and
/fribble/blurfl/grimble/src
it used to be trivial to distinguish the two, as the path names are different. It also used to be easy to tell which was displayed via the title bar displaying the full path of the active tab.

Recent changes -- for which there is apparently no configuration option to restore the earlier satisfactory behavior -- have changed that. Now each tab has only the directory basename, so in the example above both tabs display only "src", which is uninformative.  Worse, the title bar also says merely "src", so it's not possible to distinguish multiple Konqueror windows, or to easily determine from the taskbar which tab in a multi-tab window is active.

This is the opposite issue from Bugs 45275 and 86499 -- please provide a configuration option for dealing with this situation or display sufficient parts of pathnames so that multiple tabs and/or windows can be easily distinguished.

I don't know if this is considered incorrect so not confirming, but I can confirm this behaviour in 3.3.1. The tabs are only distinguishable by what's in the location bar [and the directories contents].

One idea to solve this bug in a colorful way is to use different tab label colors with every filemanager tab opened, more or less like kate does with the list of open documents

This is also true in in KDE 4.x. However, since filemanagement in Konqueror is now handled by Dolphin's filemanagement part, this issue belongs there.
