There's that "etc, etc..." again. I'm pretty sure my "E17 Developers Manual" is missing the page that defines what "etc, etc..." means. ;) > The problem here stems from window title's being 9000 chars wide like a > firefox window open to site that uses crazy long titles. Yep. But that long title is necessary in differentiating between multiple windows belonging to the same app. Say you've got several terminals each with vim editing a different file, or a couple of firefox windows each on different pages (tabs I know... its just an example). My thought is... if we do not use the title, and use the App name, I fear the user will loose the ability to differentiate between windows. In many (all?) cases the significant information is either at the beginning of the title or the end (or both). Which is why I felt removing the middle of the title string was acceptable. > > Cheers, > dh > > -- Regards, Ravenlock ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
