From bug [1730935]

Comments:
As a side note, the Editor window titlebar could show a title apart from
the filename. Throughout the documentation, references are made to "Editor
window", but there's actually no window explicitly called "Editor" in
OmegaT.
I would suggest to change the Editor's titlebar from just showing the
current file name into:
Editor: <current_filename>

    I am not in favour of this.

    - It uses space
    In some projects, you have nested folders in /source.
    Such as
    Client_Name - Product 1
    Version - Installation Linux Red Hat
    Admin
    (One of the strong point in OmegaT is that you can keep this intact.)

    Plus long file names such as
    ProductV5-Installation-Guide-Red-Hat-Linux4-Download-English-vx.xx.odt

    - I checked various applications having editing functions, and none used something other than the file name in the title bar of that window.

    If I am not wrong, it was my suggesting in the first place and I see how that would be a waste of menu space.

    I'm fine with no specific notation, personnally.

    Pour attribuer à César : I thought it was jordis, in [ 1730935 ] Editor window still shows filename after closing project.

    Can we close as rejected, then?

    I agree that the window should be given a specific title, so that new users know what it is called, and so that further documentation can be consistent.

    I see the point of long filenames. It can be useful to know which document is displayed, however. I'll address that in a separate RFE.

    This there didn't seem to be a consensus, I have not integrated this part of the patch submitted by Tiago.

    Fixed in CVS.

    After the last message here, people expressed support to this in the users group.

    I have used "Editor - " instead of ":", as I found it more common in the various programs I checked.

    Closing...
    This feature was implemented in the just released version 1.8.0 update OmegaT.
