Put the asterisk in tab title of modified files in front of the name, so it can be seen, when there are so many tabs, that the names will be truncated.

Maybe it was even better, to not truncate tab titles at all. So the asterisk can remain at the end, where it is in all MDI apps that I am aware of. The number of tabs where truncation starts is reached quite soon, at least with <1200 horizontal resolution.

Additionally, the shortened name often is not enough, to distinguish drawings, especially with highly redundant names.

No truncation is not an option. One file name can be longer than the window width.

Next release will show the file name of the current document in the application window title. Tab tool tips are also available.
