setting Windows Application Title Bar

These past few days I've had several images open at the same time to
compare the operation of different versions, and found I quickly lost
track of exactly which image was which.  There is a lot of empty space
on application title bar after "Pharo 1.3" where I'd like to display the
directory where pharo.exe was started from.  Can this be changed on the
fly from the image? or a less attractive alternative... how do I query
the pharo.exe location from the Workspace, and/or update some text on
the background on startup.

cheers, Ben

+1 on the confusion, but I would want it to show the directory of the image (because I use the same VM for all my images) :) Maybe it could be a setting?

Yes that could be useful, although I don't really need it, my images have different names (and I always use the same VM).

It should definitively be a setting.

With some serendipity I noticed that the Croquet.exe I used to get ODBC working last night was displaying the image path in the Window Title Bar - pretty much just what I wanted.  I discovered that removing the line "WindowTitle=Pharo 1.3" from "pharo.ini" replicated this. /*grin*/

Regarding the other thread discussing the "startup preferences" across multiple images, could the ability be provided the "delete" preferences already set in the "pharo.ini" that comes with the OneClick download ?

cheers, Ben
