I really like how FMP automagically displays the server name in the window title...

Database (servername)

... and have just worked out a quick and simple way to get it to work for new windows too.

Basically, the New Window command appends hyphen-space-number onto the end of the window name. The algorithm does some clever checking for "previous" windows and doesn't just keep incrementing the number.

So, to get window named "Contacts (servername)" follow these steps:

(First check whether a window called "Contacts" already exists: is it does then either select it and stop, or close it.)

Create a new window called "Contacts - 2"

Set the window up the way you want with layout, status area, size, position, found set, etc.

Use the New window command to "duplicate" the window: FMP will name this window "Contacts" and display the server name.

Close the "Contacts - 2" window.
