Setting Window Title

Define a command sequence which sets the title of the window before changing directory:

@%*
@set pwd=%CD%
@title %CD%

Call the file something sensible, such as set-terminal-title.cmd, verbosity is unimportant as you’re not going to end up typing it yourself.

And a title?

Define the environment variable %TITLE% and set that when setting the title:

@%*
@set pwd=%CD%
@title %TITLE% – %CD%

Make sure the script is saved somewhere in your path.

Now in macros.mac define the following:

cd..=set-terminal-title cd ..
cd=set-terminal-title cd /D $*
popd=set-terminal-title popd $*
pushd=set-terminal-title pushd $*

a:=set-terminal-title a:
b:=set-terminal-title b:
c:=set-terminal-title c:
d:=set-terminal-title d:
e:=set-terminal-title e:
f:=set-terminal-title f:
g:=set-terminal-title g:
h:=set-terminal-title h:
i:=set-terminal-title i:
j:=set-terminal-title j:
k:=set-terminal-title k:
l:=set-terminal-title l:
m:=set-terminal-title m:
n:=set-terminal-title n:
o:=set-terminal-title o:
p:=set-terminal-title p:
q:=set-terminal-title q:
r:=set-terminal-title r:
s:=set-terminal-title s:
t:=set-terminal-title t:
u:=set-terminal-title u:
v:=set-terminal-title v:
w:=set-terminal-title w:
x:=set-terminal-title x:
y:=set-terminal-title y:
z:=set-terminal-title z:

Actually we're lying about the Maverick since some low-life stole it.

In the UK as we give away our civil liberties in the name of freedom it might be handy to be aware of Photographers Rights.

Don't let The Man stop you shooting.

For all that we like the up-to-the minute offerings of the web there's nothing like a proper badly photocopied A5 fanzine or a glossily printed proper magazine to keep you occupied on the throne. Here, in no particular order, is our material of choice.
