Research direction

Start by tracing Xed's printing options and the code that renders the page header. Clarify the requested combinations: page number only, file name without its path, and no file name or path. Done means each selected header option prints the intended information while preserving existing printing behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently, Xed's printing options allow only showing or hiding the page header (containing the file path and page number).

I suggest adding options to only print the file name (not the full path) in the header, and an option to hide the file name and path entirely.
