[Geany] full pathname in Open Files tab?

[chuck]

If at all possible, rather than make every line in the open files list 
huge, consider a tree-control structure such as that shown on the 
attached. It is my idea of smoothly navigating thru a bunch of buffers. 
  (This from a windows platform, but the Linux version looks similar 
with the directories being something like "/home/me/coding/debug/...").

Directories are sorted and can be expanded or closed, as some are shown 
in the picture.  Some of the closed directories in the picture have 15 
or so open files.  (ok, it makes it trivial to remember what is where, etc.)

To get to the open files list window (which is docked like Geany's), I 
use a key shortcut.  I can move about, up and down, expanding and 
contracting directory listings with arrow keys. I can select a file with 
  Enter, or just close the window and go back to editing with another 
shortcut.

I guess I like this way of handling open files/buffers.  And since I am 
often juggling many many files...

Thanks for listening.
