I think it should be an absolute requirement that the title bar always starts with Notepad++ -
Hmm, this is what I get for posting when I don’t have Notepad++ right in front of me (i.e., I get it wrong). :-(
Now that I have it in front of me, the Notepad++ title bar shows pathname - Notepad++ or filename - Notepad++.
My point was mainly about Notepad++ remaining somewhere in the titlebar, because this bit of consistency aids in other programs in locating the N++ main window, via the FindWindow Win32 API call. I do this a fair amount, and thus I’m projecting that I’m not alone and that others do this as well.
Here’s a bad example; some PythonScript code:
notepad.hwnd = user32.FindWindowW(u'Notepad++', None)
(It’s “bad” because it isn’t necessary any longer, because newer versions of PythonScript have the notepad.hwnd variable predetermined for you – but for a long time this was not the case)
But, if Notepad++ weren’t in the title bar text, it would not be as “easy” to locate the window, for those that need to.
Note that the OP made no suggestion to drop Notepad++ from the title bar text; I was just thinking if the original idea was extended (as tends to happen), I’m sure someone would come up with that idea. And @Coises did call the text redundant, so that could be construed as a first step at “removal” – in quotes because of course all of these suggestions would be for optional things.
