GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 149008
Bad title on navigational windows
Last modified: 2005-01-11 10:55:41 UTC
Navigational windows have title like this: "File Browser: <URI>". It should be "<URI> - File Browser", because when the window list doesn't have enough space, currently you only see the "File Browser" part, when the most important part is actually the URI. The icon already indicates it's a file browser window, anyway. I'm almost sure I saw some similar recommendation in the HIG. I can look for it, if anyone doubts my memory...
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/windows-primary.html#primary-window-titles While document names are most pertinent to users, we understand that application developers may want to increase recognition of their application. If you plan to include your application's name in the title of a primary window, use the following format: Document Name - Application Name. This will ensure that the document name appears in limited space situations such as the system window list. If directories are seen as documents then this is valid (it's not a very large stretch of the imagination...) Adding HIG and usability keywords.

You will need to patch every *.po as well to get that change recognized on every language
Adolfo: That task is up to the translators. Believe me, they don't like that other contributors mess up their translations.
nautilus has branched so I'm removing the BLOCKED_BY_FREEZE keyword
Gustavo: I'd suggest re-sending this to the nautilus-list so the maintainers see it again... this should definitely go in, it seems like an obvious fix.
Oh.. I didn't know I was required to send it to the list in the first place. Thanks.
FWIW, Gustavo is definitely right here.
in cvs. thanks.
