How to show file name instead of full file path in matlab's code editor bar

9 views (last 30 days)
Hi,
Usually the m code editor bar shows the full path to m file.
Occasionally I found that when I open the code editor and variable window and annex these two windows in the ceter of matlab window, the full path changed to file name only.
Is there a way to make the code editor bar always the file name only, instead of file path?
I found one setting in matlab.prf:
EditorNamedBufferOption=I2.
Does this setting control this behaviour? How to edit this setting?
Thanks.

There must be a solution in mathwork, because when I put editor window and variable inspection window together above the command window in a Left-Right spit pattern, I noticed that the path was omitted, and only the file name remains. The difficult part is to know which interbal command was executed for this switch.

At this related question: How do I show only the filename at the top of my editor instead of the full path?, a MathWorks employee says, "There is currently no way to set a preference for what the Editor window displays."
