Description

Example...
If i open a new RDP session or select one already opened on hostname WINHOST123, update the window title to...
NETworkManager XXXX.XX.XX.X - Remote Desktop - WINHOST123

This way, third party tools like keepass (auto-type) can be used to input credentials. Those tools rely on windows title name to guess which sequence of characters (username + tab + password + ENTER) is needed to be sent to the shell.

In large environments with multiple domains... all credentials are centralized using keychain tools. Credentials are maintained in those keychains and having to maintain a copy of those in tools like yours is a major waste of time. It's also a major risk when passwords expire and old ones saved in profiles trigger account locks.

ALL Browsers do it and allow webpage content to dictate the window title content...
Outlook rewrite it to email subjects...
Every MS office products show the file name...

That's the ONE feature making your tool almost useless to us... It's maddening to have 99% of every tools I use at the same place and having that ONE feature broken forcing me to rely on an old piece of £±@£@± legacy tool.
