Element desktop doesn't show which profile is being used in the title bar or tray icon bar
Steps to reproduce
- Open Element
- Open
element
again with the--profile whatever
flag - Put them in tray or otherwise look for them and note what their names are.
Outcome
What did you expect?
I expected --profile whatever
to tell me that it's whatever
in tray bar or task bar.
What happened instead?
I am not told which Element is which
Operating system
Windows 11
Application version
Element-webin versio: 1.9.2 Olm version: 3.2.3
How did you install the app?
winget install Element.Element
Homeserver
matrix.org
Will you send logs?
No
This wouldn't scale, given that --profile-dir
is another option and that is definitely not a user-friendly name.
How about showing at least the MXID or should this be closed in favour of https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/2320 with which I wouldn't even need to use --profile
?
There is an open PR over at https://github.com/vector-im/element-desktop/pull/396/files which allows users to change the tray icon per profile by creating/editing a file ${ELEMENT_PROFILE_DIR}/config.json
:
{"tray_icon_path": "path_to_trayicon.png"}
Help testing wanted.
