How to open a new window with a custom window title?

Greetings,

Is there a command line option that would open a new window with a custom window title?

Something similar to this?:
-new-window <window_title>
-no-new-window <window_title>

Then it can be considered for a new tab as well, like this?:
-new-tab <tab_title>
-no-new-tab <tab_title>

Thank you.

Currently I use

Code: Select all

nop:MYTITLE........................... mysearchstring
to give an individual tab title (also window title when just 1 tab), however the idea of individual tab labels was being considered.
There is though a general titling formula that was recently made available.

General tab titling formula see
viewtopic.php?p=65751#p65751
at "Everything 1.5.0.1372a adds support for customizing the tab title."

and Window titling see eg viewtopic.php?t=11294

nop: search function.

Thank you meteorquake,

I also thought about this "nop:" Search Function. But the problem with the "nop:" Search Function is:

Suppose, I started a new window with a title named "topic" using:

Code: Select all

Everything64.exe -new-window -search "nop:topic"
Then I opened a bookmark on that opened window then the title is ruined. Due to bookmark can change search text.


I also thought about the Window/Tab titling pages that you provided.
But they change title for all windows/tabs. I just want to temporarily change the title for only the window/tab that was opened by the command line.

I used, "/window_title_format=format" and "/tabs_title_format=format" but they change title for all windows/tabs.
