Problem Statement

Whenever Claude Code edits files when using the VS code extension, it only shows the file name of the edited file, instead of a full relative path. For people that want to have some control of the changes made, its hard to keep track of which file is being edited, specially in codebases like TS that have many files with the same name (index, route, etc).

I know that you can click it to view the full path but when its lots of changes it becomes annoying to have to click each time (1 click to open, another to close).

Proposed Solution

A setting that allows toggling full relative path vs only file name when claude makes edits.

Alternative Solutions

No setting, simply change the default

Priority

Low - Nice to have

Feature Category

Developer tools/SDK

Use Case Example

Its nice to know which exact file is being changed by claude to have more intuitive context.
