Custom title from the command line (Windows)

[abdekker]

It would be nice if a custom title could be requested when launching WinMerge from the command-line. Currently the window title is "MyProjectName" (and on the Windows taskbar "WinMerge - [MyProjectName]"), but it would be nice to see "My Custom Title".

After reading the WinMerge v2.16.46 help (the Command line section), there appeared to be no documented way to do this. But when I asked Microsoft CoPilot, it confidently told me to use "WinMergeU.exe -t "My Custom Title" File1.txt File2.txt"! This and the "/t" version do NOT work! Just one more example to remind us to be wary of blindly relying on these AI assistants.

My question/comment is:

• Did I miss a way to set a custom title when launching WinMerge from the command line?
• If this is not supported, could that feature be implemented in a future release?

My thanks to the developers for a brilliant tool!

Unfortunately, WinMerge does not offer the ability to customize the title bar text.
However, you can specify text to display instead of the file names of the compared files as follows:

"C:\Program Files\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe" /dl customleft /dr customright File1.txt File2.txt
