I've cloned the code from the link in comment #21 like:

git clone -b window-title https://github.com/adaptee/konsole.git

then I've run

cmake .
make
cd src
./konsole

now I do not see any change in profile settings regarding tab/window naming
under tab settings (while tab toolbar settings got lost from that settings tab)

where are the settings to test?


and trying the name change in action (ab)using the code from the link in
comment #24 like this:

#!/bin/bash

# Set terminal title
# @param string $1  Tab/window title
# @param string $2  (optional) Separate window title
# The latest version of this software can be obtained here:
# http://fvue.nl/wiki/NameTerminal

function nameTerminal() {
    local ansiNrTab=30 ansiNrWindow=0
        # Change tab title
    [ $ansiNrTab ] && echo -n $'\e'"]$ansiNrTab;$1"$'\a'
        # If terminal support separate window title, change window title as
well
    [ $ansiNrWindow -a "$2" ] && echo -n $'\e'"]$ansiNrWindow;$2"$'\a'
} # nameTerminal()

nameTerminal "tab" "window"
sleep 20


I get both tab name and window name set to "window" - the behaviour is the same
as with konsole 2.8

so I'd say ... testing FAIL

well, the problem is that the testing barrier is very high for an ordinary user
- good that you've provided whole git repo with appropriate branch, I just
couldn't figure out how to easily make use of the commit link you've provided
in  comment #29

and even with the source code being served on a silver plate, it took me a
while to figure out build dependencies ...

now imagine if I knew nothing about git, nothing about cmake, nothing about kde
package dependencies ... just having to wait until you push the update out and
my distro picks that up

definitely, there is a big room for improvement how to involve users in testing
