#47 Notebook page titles & ...

[K.K]

Hi Cristiano

Recently , I've lookded over the 2 other multi page
gnome terninals on sourceforge's site.

They suck a lot , with one exception: they set the
titles of the notebook page function of program running in
that page.

I think it's a good ideea , especially when you have
many terms opened in MGT.

And one more thing: could you add a handler for
SIGTERM or other signals that saves the current path
and number of the opened terms?(something like opera
does when it segfaults)

Thanks !

Hi Victor,
I didn't get exactly what you mean by "notebook page
function" so
could you explain it better?

About SIGTERM yes I can do that, I hope soon :)

Sorry Cristiano for the ambiguous term.

I think in english language you can use a construction like
this:

"The sound velocity is function of the medium which sound
passes through"
Translation :-) : " The sound velocity depends on the
mediun which sounds passes through".

What i mean is that :
It would be nice to set notebook's page name depending on
what program is running in that shell(like opera does for its
notebook pages)
Forx : if i'm running vi mgt.c page will be :vi ... or how many
chars are allowed for notebook page title to look nice.

Thanks

oh yes sorry I misunderstood :-/, anyway I think if you set
'titled tabs'
under Preferences->Settings->tabs each will reflect what
each app
will set.
For example vim will set it as you need...so try it out

Hi cristiano

i tried setting titles for tabs in references->Settings->tabs
but the tab title is something like (for ex)
root@localhost.localdomain:/root or whatever the path is.

I think it would be nicer if it just would be vi or mc
I think that a user remember a specific terminal by the
running program in it and not by the machine:path he is on.

What do you think of this?

> root@localhost.localdomain:/root

I think this is a bash setting. Are you using Red Hat? If
so, look in /etc/bashrc:

case $TERM in
# xterm*)
# if [ -e /etc/sysconfig/bash-prompt-xterm ]; then
#
PROMPT_COMMAND=/etc/sysconfig/bash-prompt-xterm
# else
# PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne
"\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"'
# fi
# ;;

That probably got mangled, but will give a windowmanager
titlebar like you describe (I hate it!). Maybe MGT can
over-ride this, but I find it better to comment out the
offensive stuff (if this is the case for you too).
