If you had just said go to http://www.culater.net/software/SIMBL/SIMBL.php, install SIMBL and copy bundle to SIMBL plugin directory it would have saved me 15 minutes, but thanks alot, the plugin is awesome!

I used this for about an year, then it suddenly stopped working this week. Any ideas as to what might have caused it? The only major system change I had lately was the latest system update for Leopard (10.5.8), which upgraded iTunes and Safari, I think.

It's true that you don't _have_ to use this on Snow Leopard, but this plugin was easier to use than the Terminal info pane… I would really prefer to use this if it still worked on SL in 64bit mode.
(btw SIMBL has been updated for SL as well…)

With snow leopard you can just do Cmd-Shift-I, enter tab name and press Esc. So TabNamer would be redundant.

Any chance of getting this running on Snow Leopard? As soon as I launch Terminal, I get a popup saying:
“Error

Terminal 2.1 (v272) has not been tested with the plugin TabNamer (null) (v1.0). As a precaution, it has not been loaded. Please contact the plugin developer for further information.”

Great plugin, though – thanks!

This doesn’t work on Snow Leopard due to version check (you also have to open the Terminal.app in 32-bit mode, but apparently SIMBL doesn’t work in 64-bit at all).

Sorry for the double post, but are these the two relevant pieces:

First which of these do I use?
setCustomTitle: or setScriptCustomTitle:

Second, is passing this necessary?
setScriptTitleDisplaysCustomTitle (passing it true I assume)

Hey Eric,

I realize we all get busy and probably forgot about posting the source, but maybe if you just posted the method you are swizzling to make this work that would be enough to get me going.

Thanks!
