Filename as Window Title

Postby John Cleese » 26 Oct 2009 08:41

Hello, on older versions of vlc (win32) the filename used to display as the window title.
However I recently updated and now the window title is always the internal file title/artist.

Is there anyway for me to revert it back the using the filename as the window title?

Hmm, thats odd, and disappointing.
Is there anyway to make it at least disable the file properties as window title?
So that is just says like "VLC Media Player" all the time.

Anyways, thanks for the reply.
