In GUI WMS settings there is an input field for layer titles, but it isn't used. I have made some changes [1] that would let the administrator set the layer titles for each application. I think this is a useful feature.

However, I wonder how to deal with the WMS title and the title of the root layer. Currently, the WMS title is used in treeGDE, as well as in the WMC. In my implementation, the title of the root layer is used. Basically, it comes down to three scenarios

1) Always use WMS title
2) Always use root layer title
3) usage is context sensitive

Following Murphy's Law, I think the third scenario applies. When should the WMS title be used, when the root layer title? I'm puzzled and need input. I'm fine with my current implementation, please let me know if you have a scenario where this behaviour is harmful. Otherwise I will leave it this way.

Thanks for your input,

Christoph
