RFE [ 1700987 ] Window title should contain file name instead of full path
What do people think of RFE [ 1700987 ] Window title should contain file name instead of full path?
It seems reasonable to me, and should be fairly simple to implement.
Comments? Opinions?

what if I have the same test.svg in several directories and opened at the same time for comparison?
It looks a little bit odd but ...
My Notepad++ application has a MDI interface writing the docname only on the tab and the full path name on the titlebar once selected a new tab.

Does GNOME or freedesktop.org have a standard for this?

From http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/windows-primary.html
" Use Filename as the window title for document-based applications. Do not use the full pathname, as the filename alone is easier to distinguish amongst other open window titles, for example on the window list. "

In that case I vote for:
filename.svg (full/path/name/to/it)

On Linux, for me the window title is already showing up as:
"filename.svg - Inkscape"
Looking at the RFE it sounds like the display of the full path is just a bug of the Windows port?

It works that way for me on OS X also.
It could be that things are using some custom code, and not a stock glib call that would resolve the '/' vs. '' issue.
Or... there are differences under different scenarios.

I can't test right now, but as far as I remember, only the filename is displayed when I open a document, and the full path when I save it. I'm on Linux.

I believe you see the full path either if you've changed a document from when it opened or when you first go to save.

Let me clarify...
After you save a document it should show the path in the titlebar. If you open an existing doc it will just show the filename. But, if you move an object, undo, and then save (since it won't save with no changes) it will show the full path.
This is on Linux btw.

Aha, confirmed.
Yep, this definitely is an inconsistency.

One more thought. Some programs add an asterisk in front of the filename if it has been modified/not saved. What are the thoughts on that? I would personally like to see that addition too (no clicks necessary to know it hasn't been saved recently).

Sure. It also already indicates outline mode. So for unsaved file in outline mode, it would look like:
*filename.svg [outline] (full/path/name/to/it)
My opinion is that the title should contain the path in some way, simply because it's an important info that you can't easily get otherwise.
