Yes, that's a cool feature. But if I have three versions of AppController.m up at once, it would be great to be reminded -- at a glance -- which one is which, especially since I get so many interruptions. So if the path was on the title bar, that'd be cool. But I guess it's not so easy to change TextEdit to do this.

Did you not see my earlier reply?

Sounds like TextEdit is an NSDocument-based app. I'm not familiar with those, but I see NSDocument has a -displayName method whose documentation says:

"If the document has been saved, the display name is the last component of the directory location of the saved file (for example, “MyDocument” if the path is “/tmp/MyDocument.rtf”). If the document is new, NSDocument makes the display name “Untitled n,” where n is a number in a sequence of new and unsaved documents. The displayable name also takes into account whether the document’s filename extension should be hidden. Subclasses ofNSWindowController can override windowTitleForDocumentDisplayName:to modify the display name as it appears in window titles."

This would explain why you didn't see an explicit call to -setTitle: in the code -- that's taken care of by the framework. You can override to customize the framework's default behavior.


I just added the following to DocumentWindowController and it had the desired effect:


- (NSString *)windowTitleForDocumentDisplayName:(NSString *)displayName
{
    NSURL *fileURL = [[self document] fileURL];

    if (fileURL)
        return [fileURL path];
    else
        return [super windowTitleForDocumentDisplayName:displayName];
}


I would have guessed there would be a simpler way, maybe a boolean you could set. But this works.
