Description

Hello Guake,

I use "guake -r "mytabname" to rename the tabs but I have a lot of tabs opened in parallel. ( and several scripts in parallel )

I have the following issue : In tab1, I do : sleep 10 ; guake -r "test" I switch to tab2/ during the 10s, the tab2 received the name of the "test" ...

Would it be possible to rename the tab of the script where it is launched? and not the latest tab selected?

It's the same issue with sleep 10 ; guake -g => it will return the index of the latest tab selected.

Regards,

Research direction
Examine how guake r determines which tab to rename; it currently uses the focused tab. Implement a way to target the tab from which the command is invoked, possibly using environment variables or terminal id.
