Getting/setting title of sf::Window?

[minirop]

One use-case where setting the window title should be possible : « knowing which file/project is open ».
With sfeMovie, if you do a small video player, you may want to have the window title being "My Awesome Player - Batman Return.avi".
Same with an editor : "My Great Editor - TestingLevel.lvl"
Still in the editor, you may want to add "My Great Editor - TestingLevel.lvl (not saved)". or "(unsaved changes)"

It.. is..? Getting isn't possible.

But then that requires the extra time for each project to write/implement/create a wrapper for something that should already be implemented in a native window class!!

Just edit source and header and cmake normally, possibly doing some conditional compilation that will end up printing to cout "Warning: Non-standard SFML extension function called for object at adress (this) of type (typeid(*this).name())." in debug each time you get title.

That would slow things down way too much to output.

Also, this should be in there anyway. It's a major API gap.

This is just your opinion, based on a very specific use case. Unless you have other arguments, I won't consider this feature a "major gap" in the API.

I'm really sorry to reject this request (don't worry, I do it all the time, it's not against you ), but I really need to be convinced that a feature will be useful to a majority of users before adding it. It might be absolutely necessary for you, but you should admit that your requirements are really specific and from a global point of view this function is really not the most important one to add in SFML.

I'm not saying I need this now, nor will I ever, it just seems pretty incomplete to not have it in there, that's all.

I understand your point of view. But my philosophy is to add a feature only if it is needed; "seems incomplete" is not enough for me

I can respect that.
