* I use Autohotkey, a Windows macro language, to move around and manipulate my NT7 chart windows. Works great, as each chart has a title such as:
BA (1 Min) 1/10/2020
This is for a 1m Boeing chart...
I can examine the title, look for 'BA (1 Min)' and know exactly which chart I'm dealing with. That way, I can minimize, maximize, move around charts very easily.
NT8 has replaced this format with the icons, etc., on the TItle Bar, which is ok, but unfortunately, there is apparently NO Title Bar info indicating BOTH symbol and interval(very bad for me). When I query the Title Bar name for an NT8 BA 1m chart, I get the following:
Chart - BA
That won't work, as I have a variety of different timeframe BA charts, such as 1min, 30sec, etc. I need someway to tell what interval this chart is using.
Now, I notice in the NT8 chart Title Bar itself, from left to right it shows 'Chart BA 1 Minute', which would be fine for me. BUT, for some reason, the interval(1 Minute here), is not included in the actual Title Bar info. I have to have some way to check the interval, otherwise, I'm stranded and stuck.
So, do you have anything to help me out here??
Yeah, I could ask for an enhancement for a future release, but that'll take a long time, if ever, to be implemented. I need something NOW, otherwise I'm screwed.
P.S., I tried changing the label in the Data Series config panel from the default of 'BA' to 'BA1m' and when I applied the change, it had no effect on either what I could see on the Title Bar nor what I could query in the way of a Title Bar name. Under NT7, this change would've shown up in the Title Bar itself and also be retrievable via Autohotkey. So, what gives with this? Why isn't the new label showing and if it is supposedly showing, where the hell is it? This should've been checked out as part of the migration development and apparently it wasn't.
Btw, there -is- some empty space to the right of the icons where some title data could be displayed, depending upon the size of the chart.
