Automatic titles for PuTTY terminal tabs

When I connect to a SSH server with PuTTY, its window title changes according to my username, the server hostname, and the current path I'm in. Royal TS v7 currently only displays the connection name as was defined for the connection. 


But Royal TS also exposes this PuTTY setting under 

Properties - Advanced - Features - "Disable Remote-Controlled Window Title Change" -- However it only seems to have an effect when connecting in an external window.


Royal TSX got this feature a while ago, would it be possible on Windows too? https://support.royalapps.com/support/discussions/topics/17000011215


Hi Christoph,


the main reason why we didn't implement it for embedded connections is that the text on the tab is then usually quite long and occupies most of the space. So from a UX perspective it doesn't make much sense to enable this for embedded tabs. Let's leave this discussion open and if more users also want to see this implemented, I can investigate if that's possible.

If you are referring to the display name in the tree of your PuTTY based terminal connection, simply press F2 or open the properties to rename the display name.

@information  When you add a terminal connection for an SSH connection, you can use either a PuTTY or Rebex based connection. I mention PuTTY in the Idea title because that's what I use, but I guess it could be useful for other terminal programs too.

I figured out what these question-answer bots above are doing: They include huge amounts of invisible links to spam sites, you can see it in this page's source code.

Hi Christoph,


thanks a lot for bringing this to our attention. I've removed the Spam-posts.


Best regards,

Christoph
