Title: Automatic window title update on directory change (or OnDirectoryChange hook)
Post by: Amater on September 10, 2026, 18:21:08

Hi Mathias,

First of all, thank you for creating such a versatile file manager!

I would like to have the active folder path dynamically displayed in the Windows taskbar/title bar (similar to Windows Explorer). I found that using SetAppCaptionTag( GetSourcePath() ); in MultiScript works well for updating the title, but currently it only triggers manually (via hotkey, button, or alias).

Is there any chance of adding an automatic trigger / event hook (e.g., OnDirectoryChanged) in a future update, or a native setting like "Show active path in Window Title bar"?

If there is already an existing workaround to automatically run a script upon changing folders that I might have missed, please let me know.

Thank you for your time and great work!
