Attachments:	The tab bar of konsole with some wrong titles in it

Description gambas 2009-02-18 01:34:55 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

Setting the tab title with the current directory automatically is a great feature, but it sometimes fails.

For example, the current path is: "/home/benoit/gambas/3.0/trunk/gb.qt/src", and the title is "gb.qt/s".

I attach a screenshot of one of my opened konsole.

confirming

Comment 3 Robert Knight 2009-02-18 13:02:22 UTC

This is actually intentional.  It makes it easier to tell tabs apart when you have multiple tabs opened in similarly named directories.

For example:

/home/yourname/project1/src/
/home/yourname/project2/src/
/home/yourname/project2/some-external-library/src/share

Are renamed to 'project1/s', 'project2/s', 'some-external-library/s/s'

The list of directory names is hard-coded although there is a hidden config option to change it.

OK! So clever that I didn't imagine it was intentional... :-)

Comment 5 Matthew Woehlke 2009-02-20 01:13:20 UTC

Robert: is it possible to change the text color for /only/ the abbreviated portion? That would make it more obvious that konsole is doing something "special"...

Only by re-implementing the tab painting code.  Qt only supports rich text in certain places.

Should this be merged with bug 167590 ? Thanks
