netbeans - how to view file full path in window title (or somewhere else)?

I've just switched from eclipse, and what bothers me, is that when I have lots of files open, I don't see which one is from which module (f.ex. 5 different urls.py files). Is there an option to show the full path somewhere?

"I don't know of an option to show the full path in the tab or window, but I handle this problem in several ways:

Hit Ctrl+Shift+1 while in the editor to highlight the file in the Projects View
Hit Ctrl+Shift+2 Show the file in the Files (actual folders) View.
Use Alt+Shift+O to open files by name (which shows the path and the project)

Hopefully you can use one of these to your advantage."

"Yes, it is incredible that a so little issue can discourage so much.

Another way is maintain open the
""properties"" window: Ctrl+Shift+7
Shows name, size, modification time...

You can have that window undocked, even in another screen, if you have it. Always is on top. So, wow, is something just discovered. And seems a very cool solution!!!
