This extension adds a breadcrumb bar to the text editor, displaying the location of the current document within the solution or file system. It highlights the current project or parent folder of the document for easy orientation.
This extension addresses common challenges when working with files that have the same or similar names across multiple projects or within the same project (e.g., /Pages/Users/Edit.razor and /Pages/Roles/Edit.razor). The breadcrumb bar provides clear context, reducing confusion and enhancing navigation efficiency.
