Show directory in class navigator

Answered

I work on a project where there are multiple files with the same name in different directories.  When I use the class navigator to search for a file and there are multiple files with the same name, I cannot distinguish which file I need to open.  Is there a way for IntelliJ to display the directory name of the selected file in the class navigator so I can determine the correct file?

You can include directory name (or its part) in your search, like dir/file.txt. Does it help? Use the slash to separate directory from the file.

Also, Navigate | File dialog displays the directory where the file is located in the parenthesis after the file name:

Hey Serge,

   this is a workaround which is usable, thanks.  It's not as good as having the directory in parenthesis for class navigation as file navigation give many more results.  Please add this as a feature request.
