Emacs: switch to buffer with a prefix

Question

I have two files, both named server.pp. When I switch between buffers I see server.pp and server.pp<1>. It is the case that one is module1/server.pp and the other module2/server.pp. How might I switch buffers in such a way as to include some path prefix information?

Answer 1

you would want to customize the uniquify configuration to change that extra info. i personally use:

(require 'uniquify)
(setq uniquify-buffer-name-style 'post-forward-angle-brackets)
