Lister's window title / taskbar button - display filename first
Posted: 2024-03-12, 03:50 UTC
During my work I deal with many text files opened in Lister simultaneously.
Every Lister button on the taskbar displays
Lister > file path > and only then filename
And in my case filenames themselves cannot actually be seen.

It's all a common obvious usability issue. Take a look here, for example. (Different product, same thing. Found while googling for a solution.)
Reorder taskbar title to say filename first
The problem is caused, I assume, by the fashion Lister names its windows. For instance, while viewing a picture file with Imagine plugin, Lister names its window (and therefore the taskbar button) like this:
Lister (imagine) - [d:\STUFF\picture.png]
whereas it obviously (I assume I can speak on behalf of every sane user on that) should be something like:
picture.png [d:\STUFF\picture.png] Lister (imagine)
I realize that the suggestion is relevant mostly for Windows 7 and 10 users, as in Windows 11 the taskbar is completely different (and fukked up). I've also been kindly given a workaround with the following result:

But Mr Ghisler, perhaps it's not good for Lister to have such obvious usability issue? Could you please fix it and make Lister, on its window title, display name of opened file first? (Just like it's done in Windows Notepad, Wordpad, etc)? Or at least implement that as an option.
