Question: Buffer Menu

[Alan Sherman]

Hello,

Is there a way to change the Buffer menu so it lists not only the
filename but also the path? Similar to using a %f format identifier
for the screen title. So basically, instead of foo, foo<1>, foo<2>
it would list /tmp/foo, /usr/foo, /wv/foo.

Thanks.

See `format-buffers-menu-line' in lisp/prim/menubar.el.

(defun format-buffers-menu-line (buffer)
"Returns a string to represent the given buffer in the Buffer menu.
nil means the buffer shouldn't be listed. You can redefine this."
(if (string-match "\\` " (setq buffer (buffer-name buffer)))
nil
buffer))
