Bug 1941

Description Unknown User 2001-10-10 22:22:43 EDT

The title of the workbench has the format "Perspective - Eclipse Workbench".  
The 
perspective name defines "how" I'm looking at information, but not "what".  In 
my 
mind "what" is just as or more important than "how" (justification below).  
Hence, I think
the window title should be "ProductName - Input : Perspective", or something 
similar.  

Justification:

1. Start the workbench with the default perspective. You're looking at "the 
workspace, 
	or everything" with the "Resource Perspective".  The title 
says "Resource - Eclipse Workbench".  
2. Create two projects in the navigator.  
3. Select one and invoke "Open in New Window | Resource".  A new window will 
open
	on the selected project.  This is an important feature, because it 
allows scoping and 
	increases the scalability of the project.  The title of the new window 
is "Resource - 
	Eclipse Workbench".  
4. Go back to the first window.
5. Select the second project.  Invoke  "Open in New Window | Resource".  A new 
window
	will open.  

Now you have 3 windows which all have the same caption, but clearly they 
present different 
information.  The titles are useless.  This problem also occurs when you create 
3 pages
within a single window.

To resolve this I think the titles should be ..

Workspace ( or some other term, maybe All, or * ) : Resource Perspective
Project 1: Resource Perspective
Project 2: Resource Perspective

NOTES:

	I would also like to see the input element in the title.
	When changing the title format keep in mind that the most 
distinguishing information
	is in the front this allows you to distinguish the windows in the short 
cut bar.
	Having all windows start with Product name would make them only 
distinguishable by
	the icon. The last proposal makes more sense to me.
