Window title: Show repo basename first as path can get truncated

[marcellarius]

Problem description

Put the most important information first, rather than bury the lead.

If you've got several Sublime Merge windows open, then it can be hard to identify them. I've currently got 5 instances open and they all just show C:\Users\samdouglas\Projects... in the taskbar or Alt-Tab screen.

Preferred solution

Format the title like this:

${basename(repoPath)} - ${repoPath} - Sublime Merge

e.g. my-cool-app - /home/sam/Projects/my-cool-app - Sublime Merge

Alternatives

Tab support #84 etc. But this would let me use my native OS tab manager 👍

Failing that, at least supporting Sublime Text style show_full_path setting would be nice - in my case repository basenames are always unique, but paths can get pretty long, therefore I am never able to tell which taskbar button corresponds to which repository window.

For anyone on Windows, here's a tiny AutoIt script that auto-"collapses" Sublime Merge window titles from "X:\Dir\Dir2\Project - Sublime Merge" to "Project":

$h0 = 0
While 1
	Sleep(2500)
	$h1 = WinGetHandle("[ACTIVE]")
	If ($h1 == $h0) Then ContinueLoop
	$h0 = $h1
	$s = WinGetTitle("[ACTIVE]")
	If ($s == "") Then ContinueLoop
	$till = StringInStr($s, " - Sublime Merge")
	If ($till <= 0) Then ContinueLoop
	$start = StringInStr($s, "\", 1, -1)
	$next = StringMid($s, $start + 1, $till - $start - 1)
	WinSetTitle("[ACTIVE]", "", $next)
WEnd

Hi,
I have exactly the same issue on my Linux: I have several GIT repos that I want to keep open at the same time in multiple SublimeMerge windows but the window titles are completely useless.
Also in my case repo paths are unique so just having the "${basename(repoPath)}" part would be fantastic.

Currently I need to search for the right sublime merge window loosing a lot of time.

Authors please address this!! thanks

I would also like chime in on this issue, right now I am working on a project where I routinely have 5 repos open and it is pure torture trying to figure out which is which.

+1 here - I would love to have the ability to set the display name for each repo
