Re: Does "set guitablabel" require scripting? (Virtually all examples seem to imply that it does…)

Thanks for the screenshot, that clears things up.

You're correct, %t should only display the tail of the file name, with none of the path.

But you're not seeing a GUI tab pages line. You're seeing the non-GUI tabline. So, either you need to enable the GUI tab line with :set guioptions+=e, or you need to use the 'tabline' option to set the label instead.

Note that the default value of guioptions already includes the 'e' flag, so at some point in your config you must have removed it. See the output of:

:verbose set guioptions?

to see where you last set the option.

Your screenshot LOOKS like you're on a Windows system, which supports a GUI tab pages line, but note that :help 'guioptions' claims that only GTK, Motif, Mac OS/X, and Microsoft Windows support this if you're not on one of those systems.
