So even though IANAL[yX developer], there are some things that are easy enough a non-developer can do. Here's another -- mostly stolen but cludgier.
Jean-Marc proposed a patch to create a "Cleaner windows title" on Mac here: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg170106.html The problem with that patch, as Jean-Marc acknowledged, was that it lost information about version control and read only status. Since then, it seems (but I'm only guessing here), Qt has changed the way it produces the menubar on Mac, so that you now can explicitly call setWindowTitle(). That means it's easy to get that info back in the window title, and that's what I've done with the attached patch. As I said, it's cludgy: I've stolen code from GuiWorkArea::updateWindowTitle() to get that info back in the title, but (not in any real sense knowing C++) I don't understand the relationship between GuiWorkArea::updateWindowTitle() and GuiView::updateWindowTitle(GuiWorkArea * wa). So perhaps someone else can suggest a better way to do it. BH
