Description
Description of the Issue
When opening two documents with identical names (e.g. for comparisons using the Compare plug-in), it can be tricky to see which file is which.
Feature request
A solution could be to have the "date modified" in parentheses on open files with identical names. (Or alternatively, put the "date modified" information in the status bar in the bottom)
