Description cwo 2025-01-28 01:22:13 UTC 
SUMMARY

Usually, Kate shows both the currently open Session and the currently open file in its window title, followed by a long dash and the application name Kate. But when a diff view is open, only the "Kate" part remains.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Open Kate, make sure the projects plugin is enabled. Ideally in a named Kate session
2.  Open a file in a git repository, change it and save.
3.  Open the git toolview, right-click the modified file, select "Show diff"

OBSERVED RESULT

The window title is "Kate"

EXPECTED RESULT

The window title is "Namedkatesession: Diff filename.ext — Kate"

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Thanks for fixing this!

The title is now set, but doesn't include the name of the kate session like it does for tabs showing a file. Would it be possible to add this for consistency? I use it to identify which kate window belongs to which session, and leaving one on a diff window makes it harder to identify from the task manager / alt-tab switcher.
