Developing for ASP.Net MVC, Visual Studio tab names are meaningless

Question

For all Visual Studio ASP.Net MVC developers - I'm sure you've faced this problem before:

In each one of my controllers, there is usually an Index, Create, Edit and Detail views. All of the default view files generated by ASP.Net's scaffolding are all given the same name, for example: index.cshtml . Granted, they're in different folders.

So it's really easy to get lost in Visual Studio when you have four or five tabs open, all with the same name! Is there a way/plugin to get visual studio show me something more meaningful, such as the controller name/view folder? Or do you developers just rename all of your files once they're generated? I already have resharper so bonus points if it's possible with that.

仅供参考，如果您将鼠标悬停在选项卡上，它会告诉您它位于哪个视图/文件夹中。这是区分不同选项卡的一种方法。

The Productivity Power Tools extension has a custom document well that lets you color code the tabs. It is usually used to color code them by the project they are in, but it also allows you to use custom regex. You could disable the project based color coding and add custom regexes to color any document tab with "Edit" in the path Blue, and documents with "Create" Green, etc... You will need to turn on the option for "Use full document path for regular expression matching" under the "advanced" tab of the power tool options.

The VS add-in Tabs Studio works for me.

After installing open the Tab Studio add-in manager and select the Disambiguator add-in, ie:

Will then give you tabs like this:
