So what i need is a method to say emacs to make the buffer name looking like "CMakeLists.txt in ". Even better would be if could be abbreviated to 30 characters, but thats not important. I have no experience in elisp programming, please can anybody explain to me, what to put in my .emacs file to give emacs the desired behavior? best regards and thanks for help Martin -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/file-path-in-buffer-name-tp26369589p26369589.html Sent from the Emacs - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
