Hide Full Path Next to Project in IntelliJ?

Question

I've been using IntelliJ, and I'm kind of annoyed by the full path being displayed next to the project name in the project view. I am aware that this question has been asked before, here. However, it is two years old and for AppCode, and I was wondering if IntelliJ has been updated to allow disabling this.

There is no such setting.

UPDATE (2018-05-24):

It's now possible (since 2018.1 version AFAIK) to hide such path by using special/internal option ( check this comment for details ).

You need perform these few steps:

• Inside the IDE use Help | Edit Custom Properties... from the Main Menu
• Agree to create a file if it does not exist
• Insert the option without leading -D part (so just put project.tree.structure.show.url=false on any empty line)
• Save the file
• Restart your IDE to see the changes

Alternatively (this way has been added later) just use:

• Help | Find Action... (or Search Everywhere, Actions tab -- the same thing)
• Type registry there
• Locate and invoke Registry... entry
• Inside the Registry window locate that project.tree.structure.show.url entry (just start typing) and make sure it is disabled/unticked.
• Save the changes
• Restart your IDE to see the changes

I'm using this and it works fine for me since 2018.x (PhpStorm user).

Answer 2

As stated by LazyOne there is no such setting. However the reference plugin (Path Hide) doesn't seem to work with Intellij Ultimate 2017.3

Thus I believe that currently there is not solution to this problem and the relevant ticket in IDEA-126014 is still in development
