cut off complete file path of tabnames

[molecula21]

I work in a lot of different directories and i'm used to have a lot of
tabs on my vim/gvim (latest version Linux). it happens that the full
path of the current buffer being edited apears as the title of the
tab. If the path is too long it turns out very dificult to navigate
through tabs...

Is there any way to tell vim to just display the name of the file and
not the full path?

Thanks

I used to have

:set guitablabel=%t

in my .vimrc, which puts the file name in the label (works in gvim only).

Regards,
Oleksandr

Works fine on gvim! tks! Anyone does know the solution for vim?

Try look in help setting-tabline.
With this, you can have so much type of configuration for your tab label.

In Console Vim, or in gvim with the "e" flag not present in
'guioptions', you can define a custom 'tabline' which must take care of
all tabs, not just the current one. There's an example of custom tabline
at |setting-tabline|, here's another one:

if exists("+showtabline")
function MyTabLine()
let s = ''
let t = tabpagenr()
let i = 1
while i <= tabpagenr('$')
let buflist = tabpagebuflist(i)
let winnr = tabpagewinnr(i)
let s .= '%' . i . 'T'
let s .= (i == t ? '%1*' : '%2*')
let s .= ' '
let s .= i . ':'
let s .= winnr . '/' . tabpagewinnr(i,'$')
let s .= ' %*'
let s .= (i == t ? '%#TabLineSel#' : '%#TabLine#')
let file = bufname(buflist[winnr - 1])
let file = fnamemodify(file, ':p:t')
if file == ''
let file = '[No Name]'
endif
let s .= file
let i = i + 1
endwhile
let s .= '%T%#TabLineFill#%='
let s .= (tabpagenr('$') > 1 ? '%999XX' : 'X')
return s
endfunction
set stal=2
set tabline=%!MyTabLine()
map <F10> :tabnext<CR>
map! <F10> <C-O>:tabnext<CR>
map <S-F10> :tabprev<CR>
map! <S-F10> <C-O>:tabprev<CR>
endif

The lines between the endfunction and the last endif are optional
(except of course the ":set tabline" command).

Best regards,
Tony.
