Hello,
Using xterm and related emulators, one can set a dynamic title. Many applications set this title. (Of course, the user can program the emulator to ignore such dynamic titles, if preferred).
I find it useful, especially when I have many terminal windows open, all running different processes in parallel. May I suggest the following simple change to the context script:
#!/bin/sh case "$TERM" in *xterm*) echo -e -n "\e]0;${0##*/} $*\a" ;; esac mtxrun --script context "$@"
1. Perhaps it would be preferred to implement such a feature in the mtx-context.lua script, for example, rather than the shell script, as one could then add useful information such as the run number. Also, one may (or may not) want to do this when running -batch, etc.
2. On non-unix-like systems, perhaps the $TERM case would be different.
mtxrun already has (as kind of joke) a --ansi option, so you can see what happens if you add in the relevant section of mtxrun(.lua) local script = e_argument("script") or e_argument("scripts") if type(script) == "string" then logs.writer("]0;"..script.."") end that is (when not seen in mail: logs.writer("<eschr>]0;"..script.."<bellchr>") Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
