Version: 2.0.x (using KDE 4.6.0) OS: Linux Dragon Player violates the KDE HIG by not showing the name of the opened file/disk in the window title. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Dragon Player 2. Open any file or disk with it Actual Results: The window title doesn't change Expected Results: Window title should change to the form: Name of the opened file/disk - Dragon Player
http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG Where is that defined?
Seems that the current state of the HIG is a bit lacking. Anyway. Every other video player on the Linux desktop follows this window labeling style and for a good reason. Omitting the actual content from the window label is really uninformative. Currently, if you pause a video in Dragon Player, the name of the file/disc being played isn't displayed anywhere on the UI. IMHO this is simply silly

Still broken in Dragon Player 18.08.2, using KDE Frameworks 5.11.1 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Dragon Player 2. Open any file or disk with it Actual Results: The window title doesn't change Expected Results: Window title should change to the form: Filename / Title from metadata of the opened file/disk - Dragon Player
Doesn't seem to be a bug but more like a design decision. But on the other hand Kaffeine and KMplayer are able to show current media on their respective title bars. A quick look on Multimedia on kde.org show that Elisa doesn't do it but Amarok and Juk do. It could be great if dragon player could do it along the status bar as an option along the rest.
It is a horrible, horrible 'design decision' though. It elevates the application name as the main information above the content displayed, which is always wrong. No user cares one bit that Dragon player happens to be the piece of software that is playing their video file (unless of course they discover a bug in the application), they only care about the content being displayed. This problem is especially egrecious if one tries to use Dragon Player to play different video clips as part of video editing workflow. Because there's no way to see which file is playing in which window when the files are paused, Dragon Player is utterly useless in this use case simply due to this bug. Status bar does nothing in this case, because it won't show up in the task manager.
This would get us one step closer to being able to permanently remove the status bar; see Bug 461386.

Pushed by sitter into branch 'master'. use the window title for title display rather than the statusbar this gets us closer to getting rid of the bar entirely M +3 -3 src/app/mainWindow.cpp https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/dragon/commit/cf06dcb728d24fd5491382a5a28b3a6e0f70168e
