Bug#305675: gnome-terminal: Tab title not useful

[Victor Munoz]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.8.2-2
Severity: wishlist


Tab titles are not very useful. The title is constructed from the username
and current directory. But that in general will be very long, so if you have
3 or 4 tabs, you cannot distinguish them visually by title because only the
beginning of the title is shown, and that beginning is always the same.

It would be nice if, for instance, only the last part of the current
directory is used to construct the title (/home/user/dir -> dir). That is
more likely to generate non-repeating, and short, titles for tabs. 

Regards,

					Victor
