I like to keep several windows open during development so that I can quickly see how a change in one layout/calculation, etc affects other layouts and calculations. However, I soon have a proliferation of windows all named 'window'1, 'window'2, etc.

is there any way, using FM7 (not developer) to rename windows other than scripting a 'go to layout/new window' which may or may not be the layout I'm concerned with at a particular time.

The script step "Set Window Title()" has the ability to (drum roll) set a window's title. The new title can be based on a calculation. So you could e.g. have a script in your script menu that renames the current window to the current layout.

Hopefully I can explain myself a little better.

Setting the current window name to something else, by script or otherwise, is exactly what I don't want to do.

When I'm developing, I want to open multiple windows, each showing a different layout, so that I can bounce between layouts with a single mouse click to see how changes affect different parts of my solution.

To script this, i'd have to have a script calling each possible window, no?

Make a script that prompts for the new window name, then opens the new window. Use this script instead of the standard window menu commands.

Thanks to the both of you. I can make that work, although it seems pretty kludgey.
