Is there a VS Code extension or setting to alleviate useless index.js tab names?

Question

Here's my current tab list, for reference:

I don't need to see index.js on any of these files, I need the parent folder name directly next to index.js, that's the useful information in the tab.

Is there a setting or extension which shoves index.js to the end of the tab, giving me useful tabs back?

I suppose in the mean time, I can use the open editors section of the navigator instead.

You can use the "workbench.editor.labelFormat" option for this. I've set it to "short", now each file is followed by its directory.

That's the best I've been able to configure, too. – M. Herold Aug 08 '18 at 02:22
