[Improvement, partially SOLVED] Pages always display the internal name

[wandererfan]

Thanks, but anything to do with QTabBar or QTabWidget is hidden inside Gui/MainWindow.cpp and/or Gui/MDIView.cpp. I don't think the methods for changing tab order are exposed to application modules.

You could propose a FeatureRequest to change how the main window handles tabs.

Okay, so this would be a feature request for FreeCAD in general, and not for TechDraw in specific.

I'm not extremely familiar with Qt but it seems you are right, it seems Gui/MainWindow.cpp controls the main appearance of the program.

Added: feature request to manually arrange the tabs in the MainWindow of the program, issue #0003648

Despite the pages being renamed, the tabs that show the names are still shown with the internal name.

I've been meaning to fix this for a while. Will try to get this into v0.18 before release.

Okay, I think this has been resolved in git commit 3ca8eb0, and it's made it to the latest build.

It isn't completely resolved. There is still some conflict between the code in Gui that puts the document name in the tab and the code in TechDraw that puts the page name on the tab. The page name will go back to document name, then back to page name on occasions, but I haven't figured out the conditions or what to do about it.

Okay, I haven't seen the behavior you describe. On my system the page tab seems to change the label without issues.
