Hello,
I use Vim in diff mode (gvim.exe -d) as a diff viewer
in a version control system (not exclusively of
course :-) ).
This works excellent when diffing a local file ("working
copy") against another version of this file that the
VCS saves to a temp file for diffing. One can easily
distinguish both versions of the file by their name.
But when diffing two versions of a file that are both
saved to temp files (say temp1.txt and temp2.txt) it's
often hard to say which is which.
The VCS can provide window titles for both files, e.g.
"This is revision 10 of foobar.txt" for temp1.txt and
"This is revision 22 of foobar.txt" for temp2.txt.
I'm trying to make use of these window titles for
ages now - with not much luck. Although I'd prefer
a way to display the titles per window, I would
happily accept suggestions on how to display the
titles together in the window title of the vim instance.
I'm almost certain that should be possible, but I'm
struggling with the quotes that are needed, because
the command "+set titlestring" contains spaces as
do the windows titles provided by the VCS (these are
already in double quotes).
Any ideas? I'm using gvim.exe 7.0g.
Kind regards
Sven
