Vscode: Show folder for tabs with same file if opened in another group

When I open two files with identical file names in one group I get the folder path as expected:

As soon as I split my workbench into two groups and put the files into different groups, the folder information disappears:

I don't have any data to back this up per-se, but I would think it would make sense to leave this on even after splitting. I think even if it's split that it's not clear where each file is living. Just my opinion though, not complaining :)

@bpasero by design or oversight?

By design.

+1 for maintaining this behavior across groups.

The RoscoP.ActiveFileInStatusBar extension is not ideal, but helps for the time being within the focused tab.

May I suggest adding a setting to have either:

  • the current behavior
  • the current behavior, but that checks accross groups
  • the full path, always visible

A workaround is to configure the new workbench.editor.labelFormat setting. No further work is planned otherwise.
