....or in the status bar in most editors.

Crikey, David, I think all those years of Windows usage has led to too-low expectations.

:o)

Working on my trunk and various branches in my subversion working copy, I can have one
editor session/window that has the same named-file opened but from different branches, or
the trunk (for times when I'm testing pre- or post-merge). The way to tell which file I'm
working on is via the editor status bar where the full path is given.

Same goes for my terminal windows. I have one X-window, but it contains several tabs (for
different branches; or for when I'm compiling and running f95 code in one tabbed session,
and displaying the results via IDL in another.)

I've been doing that for, crikey, nearly 8-9 years now on linux. Doesn't *every* OS offer
that sort of functionality? (I don't think Mac's do, but they have that handy fn-9 key
that "splays" out your desktop. Not ideal, but sufficient... and cool to watch :o).

cheers,

paulv
