XYplorer Beta Club

Hello

When you open multiple XYplorer instances by command line, they have the same name for Windows, even if you use the /title parameter and set the title bar template accordingly. This makes it impossible to use an external script to distinguish these instances (e.g. to close one without closing the others via taskkill). Steps to reproduce :

From XYplorer :
Configuration / Colors & Styles / Templates / Title bar --> <title>
Save parameters
Quit XYplorer

From command line :
"C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" /title="test1"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" /title="test2"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" /title="test3"

From PowerShell :
Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.MainWindowTitle } | Select-Object MainWindowTitle

Result :

All XYplorer instances have the same MainWindowTitle "XYplorer" instead of "test1 XYplorer", "test2 XYplorer" , "test3 XYplorer" (see screenshot below)
Could it be possible to transmit the /title parameter to Windows (see taskkill WINDOWTITLE parameter) ?

Thanks

<app> is mandatory in the template. So set the template to <app> - <title>.

That's not the problem.

The powershell script reports: While the three started instance all have a different window title (with the <app> - <title> template used)

Hm, isn't that a powershell problem? I don't know another way to set the title.

I think there is a hidden way : look to my PS screenshot in the top post. there is a line "Nircmd ... Moziilla Firefox". At this moment, I was on Nircmd site, using Firefox. And Firefox added title "Nircmd ..." to it's own app name.
But unfortunately I don't know the way ...

powershell should report what's written in the main window titlebar. I don't know why it does not. Maybe it cannot handle 32-bit windows anymore?

It's a possibility. Nevertheless, I found a barbaric way to get around this problem: copy XYplorer.exe to XYplorerProjectMars.exe, XYplorer.ProjectArcturus.exe... And PS returns these names well.
Very dirty. But woks fine
