Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Edmond and Kent, thanks for the patch. Ezio, thanks for re-opening.
After testing the patch with and without 'Editor', I preferred without. It is slightly redundant and noisy, especially when editing EditorWindow.py ;-). Also, Windows 7 stacks icons for windows belonging to a program under the program icon on the task bar. When the mouse is over the program icon, it pop up a window of *limited* width listing the window titles. The popup is narrow enough that paths to Idle test files in my repository clone get truncated when 'Editor' is added. I suspect that adding '''else: filename = "Untitled"''' to short_title() makes the corresponding '''else: title = "Untitled"''' in saved_change_hook() useless. I will check later for possible removal. Since I sometimes have multiple Find in File Output windows, I would like to expand their titles also. Since the Python version is irrelevant. I am thinking of Python: Matches for "<re>" But I think their may be other uses of Output windows (easily found by searching for "Output" ;-). In any case, extensions and new features should be free to use use OutputWindow. So we cannot generically modify OutputWindow.short_title . If the self parameter of short_title does not somehow indicate that the output is for Find in Files, we can subclass and over-ride. class FiFWindow(OutputWindow): def short_title(self): return <fif title> ---------- stage: patch review -> needs patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17390> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
