I put a bit of time in a few years ago trying to reverse that and gave up and moved on to more important issues :)</p> <p>I definitely want to end up with &quot;filename - Programmer's Notepad&quot; or even &quot;filename - PN&quot; or whatever but will have to work out the MDI problem first. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/537#post-2127 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 09:33:38 +0000 Nux 2127@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I did that with VS2008 and it worked, thanks. :-)</p> <p>Unfortunately I don't see a simple way to move the file name in front of the name. There is some &quot;Programmer's Notepad - %f&quot;, but changing it doesn't seem to change anything. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/537#post-2117 Fri, 29 May 2009 00:28:25 +0000 h3028 2117@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>If you <em>really</em> want it changed you could just edit the exe's resources. Grab a resource editor (link below). Open pn.exe. Open string table 9. Change string id 128 to whatever you want (you might as well go for &quot;PN&quot;) and save. I suggest you backup the exe first.</p> <p><a href="http://www.wilsonc.demon.co.uk/d10resourceeditor.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.wilsonc.demon.co.uk/d10resourceeditor.htm</a> </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/537#post-1992 Tue, 28 Apr 2009 08:51:22 +0000 jumpfroggy 1992@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>@Karmaflute:<br /> +1 on that. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/537#post-1975 Mon, 20 Apr 2009 06:05:40 +0000 Karmaflute 1975@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Adding the filename to the left and &quot;- Programmer's Notepad&quot; to the right sounds reasonable. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/537#post-1972 Wed, 15 Apr 2009 09:00:37 +0000 Nux 1972@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>&gt; I don't quite follow the logic of making the name of the product configurable.

Also note that e.g. Firefox and Open Office show their name after an opened file (webpage). This is also common for webpages where an icon shows you what program you are using and then follows some kind of page specific subtitle.</p> <p>&gt; The product is &quot;Programmer's NotePad&quot; not &quot;pNotepad&quot;. &quot;pNotepad&quot; is completely ambiguous of the product.</p> <p>Personally I don't like the idea of having a program running in the background just for changing a title or something. A configuration option for that would be much nicer. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/537#post-1955 Sun, 05 Apr 2009 21:02:35 +0000 Karmaflute 1955@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>The product is &quot;Programmer's NotePad&quot; not &quot;pNotepad&quot;. &quot;pNotepad&quot; is completely ambiguous of the product.</p> <p>Just write a tool to change it for you, set it to load at startup, and leave it in the tray. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/537#post-1952 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 17:08:11 +0000 jumpfroggy 1952@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>&gt; I don't quite follow the logic of making the name of the product configurable. It's a brand name afterall--another reason why it should not be too clumsy.</p> <p>I agree that Programmer's Notepad is a bit clumsy, mainly due to the length and apostrophe. Plus, the website itself is pnotepad. However, since the official name is Programmer's Notepad, but some people want it shorter, it seems to make sense to make it configurable for these people. If we changed the window title to say pnotepad by default, and the domain name is pnotepad, then we're really being confusing by keeping the &quot;Programmer's Notepad&quot; brand around and should just change everything to be the same. If we're going to keep the long name around at all, this should be an option and not a default for consistency. Either all or none in my opinion. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/537#post-1946 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 17:15:11 +0000 arvo 1946@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I don't have any means of setting up a poll, otherwise I would have. Based on the responses, it seems to be a fairly favorable idea. Nux seemed to expand upon my idea, which I think would also be very nice. Hopefully the developers will see this thread and post a reply with their take on it. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/537#post-1945 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 17:08:10 +0000 BigAngryDog 1945@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I would that agree it should that changed to pNotepad or similar. &quot;Programmer's Notepad&quot; is just too clumsy.

Then you could do something like &quot;$N - PNotepad&quot; to have the filename show up first so the taskbar button says what file is being worked on. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/537#post-1860 Mon, 23 Feb 2009 11:54:16 +0000 Nux 1860@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I would second the idea of arvo, but it would be nicer if one could simply change it in the settings. It could be as simple as a textbox for the name before file name or more flexible e.g. default could be:<br /> &quot;Programmer's Notepad [$P$N]&quot;<br /> where:<br /> $P - path to current file<br /> $N - name of current file<br /> (this is similar to Total Commander) </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/537#post-1857 Sun, 22 Feb 2009 10:05:35 +0000 Karmaflute 1857@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Please don't change this. It's perfectly fine the way it is.</p> <p>arvo, if you're anal about this then write a program that loops through all the windows on the desktop and change the title bars for anything containing &quot;Programmer's Notepad - &quot; to whatever you like. You can do this with the API SetWindowText().</p> <p><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms633546(VS.85).aspx" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms633546(VS.85).aspx</a> </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/537#post-1856 Sun, 22 Feb 2009 06:09:24 +0000 arvo 1856@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Hi, I am wondering if this is at all possible to do.</p> <p>I would like to rename the title bar of Programmer's Notepad to pNotepad.<br /> Why? Because Programmer's Notepad is too long for a title in the taskbar and it gets cut off. All's you see is &quot;Programmer's Note...&quot; and it looks sloppy on my taskbar. So please, I beg, can someone tell me how to have this changed? As you can tell, I am a bit anal with how things look. The name pNotepad is already pretty widely known, and I think it should become the official name of Programmer's Notepad. Let's face it, pNotepad just sounds better, looks better, it is better! I thought years ago that the project was titled pNotepad, but I may be wrong. I have been using Zend Studio for the longest time now and finally came to my senses and switched back to pNotepad. </p> <p>Someone please help. I'd really like to avoid having to go through compiling my own custom version every time a new one comes out.</p> <p>Thanks in advance,</p> <p>arvo </p>
