the profile allows configuring the title and icon ... for the tab bar. however, this doesn't help at all when trying to select the right konsole window in the task manager/switcher. therefore, i suggest that the current session's name should be included in the window title, and the session's icon be set as the window icon. provided it's not the default session. additionally, the configured tab title constructed from placeholders should be also included, provided the application didn't override the window title via an escape sequence. some examples: ~ : bash -- Konsole ~ : bash -- Root Shell -- Konsole mc [user@host]:~ -- Midnight Commander -- Konsole mc [root@host]:~ -- Root Shell -- Konsole Mail -- Konsole yeah, it's somewhat inconsistent and/or redundant, but it should serve the intended purpose well enough.
Hi - Thanks for your feature request! I understand the part here requesting that the tab icon become the application icon, but just wanted to clarify - what is being requested regarding the window title? When I update a tab's title, that then becomes the first part of the window title shown on the Icons-and-Text Task Manager - is there some other location that you're referring to? A screenshot of where you were thinking it should appear might be helpful in this case, too. Thanks!
> When I update a tab's title, that then becomes the first part of the window title well, it doesn't for me; there is just nothing in front of the emdash. ... and this is caused by the "show window title on the titlebar" option. this option should not exist, especially not as a global option. i now see that the tab format string already supports the %w expando. this should mostly address the need. it would make sense to support conditionals in there, to avoid redundancy, but still have a fallback when %w has the default value or is empty. there are examples for useful syntaxes for that, e.g. https://neomutt.org/guide/reference#3-511-%C2%A0status_format. as an aside, the tab titling isn't terribly useful for the current tab, because the info is redundant with what the visible terminal certainly shows anyway, and it steals space from the other tabs, where it would be actually interesting. so ideally, the current tab's title would "move" to the window title, leaving the tab itself "mostly untitled" (what exactly to show instead is an interesting question; you could intro a conditional for that as well, so one could configure an arbitrary short(ened) title). there is still the issue that the profile name should somehow end up in the window title. one could introduce a format string for the window title, but that seems terribly over-engineered to me; hard-coding the inclusion as proposed above should be just fine. supporting a profile name expando would make even less sense, as the format string is/would be profile-bound anyway, so one can just put an appropriate identifier directly into the format string. btw, the profiles and colorschemes living in .local/share rather than .config is bogus. they are every bit part of the configuration as konsolerc is.
