VLC player: How to display file name on the title bar.

[Epic Fail]

The default is only "VLC media player". Couldn't find it in the option, is it there?

Menu Tools -> Preferences (Show settings = ALL) -> Input/Codecs? Then at the very bottom of the right panel set the option "Change title according to current media" to "$F" or "$u" (without quotes {f= file name and path u= file name only}). Save, exit and restart VLC. Also I know this was an old that I just necroed but it was the first result I found when I googled that wasnt a video, support ticket, or for a non windows operating system.

Thank you very much. I was actually looking at this setting, but didn't know enough to change it. Was getting tired of looking at bogus meta data in the title bar.

This is how it is showing the name, how to make it translate all those codes to proper characters and show it the way I see in Windows explorer?
