Hello,
For the longest time I used "%b" as frame-title-format. Now that I have
changed it to something more complex, I noticed that it is not respected
for iconified frames.
(mapcar (lambda (f) (list (frame-visible-p f) (frame-parameter f 'name) f))
(frame-list))
((t "/home/jonas/.config/emacs/custom.el"
#<frame /home/jonas/.config/emacs/custom.el 0x7d386d8>)
(icon "init.el" #<frame init.el 0x1a8e850>))
You might be wondering how I even noticed this.
I use a tiling window manager, i3wm. Usually I arrange windows in
multiple columns, where each column "holds" multiple windows, but
displays only one of them at a time. At the top of such a column the
titles of all the window that it holds is displayed, followed by the one
window that is actually being displayed. So while the other windows are
not displayed, their title is still displayed. i3wm iconifies the
windows that are not being displayed.
Unfortunately that means that Emacs changes the visible titles of the
iconified frames. So, given "%f" as frame-title-format, I see, e.g.:
[init.el ] # title of an iconified window
[/home/jonas/.config/emacs/custom.el ] # title of the displayed window
|(custom-set-variables | # the column's displayed window
| ...) |
instead of
[/home/jonas/.config/emacs/init.el ]
[/home/jonas/.config/emacs/custom.el ]
|(custom-set-variables |
| ...) |
Is there a knob, that I am not aware of, to control this?
If not, please consider adding one.
Thanks!
Jonas

Isn't this a duplicate of bug#61496, especially the last part of its
discussion?

I should have looked at the info manual and the bug tracker more closely
before opening this. I actually saw `icon-title-format', but I jumped
to the conclusion that it had something to do with displaying an
application icon.
Sorry for the noise!

No sweat.
Would you mind expressing your opinion about the proposals in
bug#61496, specifically:
. setting icon-title-format to t would mean "use frame-title-format"
. leaving the default as it is in Emacs 29, with t being opt-in
Would you consider the above a good solution for Emacs 29, or do you
think we must change the default to t?
Thanks.

It seems like this was resolved, so I'm closing this bug. Please speak
up if this conclusion is wrong, and we can reopen the bug report.

So I guess this should be closed, and I'm doing that now.
Please reopen if that's not the right conclusion.
