Full path

Full path

[Dr. F.C.Caner]

Hello everyone,

I wonder how I can display the full path of the file current buffer is
visiting in the window title bar. I am using Emacs-21.2 under Windows
XP.

Thanks in advance,

Dr. F.C.Caner

Investigate the variable frame-title-format.  For example,

(setq frame-title-format "%f")

This will not work well because some buffers don't have files.  Hm.
Maybe this?

(setq frame-title-format
      '((buffer-file-name "%f - ") "%b"))

This will show (I hope) the filename and the buffer name for files,
and just the buffer name for non-file buffers.

What was the solution to this?  I'm not showing Kai's response.

Investigate the variable frame-title-format.  Maybe this works:

(setq frame-title-format '((buffer-file-name "%f - ") "%b"))

This means to use buffer-file-name plus a space and a minus and
another space when available, and the buffer name in all cases.
