Os 3.2 development preview

Hm, if the pic shows the real preferences, than it looks like one can add own 'variables/numbers' to the WB screen title, as the 'update' suggests... 

I would just use some static text and set the update frequency to "0".
Please have "0" effectively shut the system off and save resources.

That’s a good suggestion; I‘ll consider it. Note that you‘ll lose display of available memory, if you activate such an option. It‘ll also become a challenge regarding the WorkbenchPrefs, since I‘ll have to make it very clear for the user that any wildcards embedded in the current custom Workbench title will cease working, then. D‘oh.

True, but the title parser has become quite large in the meantime. That’s why I’m moving „once per boot“-stuff like version wildcards into workbench‘s initialisation code right now. The title parser was originally written with PPCs in mind, not 7MHz 68k.

silently pressing the hotkey with the label “ask Frank Mariak”

I think it was stated in another thread by Gulliver that Frank will not help.

Maybe he will if enough CGX users would ask him politely.

It is not a simple formatstring (%a,%b,%c) kindof thing?

It is, but if you find/calculate values for e.g. %c each time the title is being updated, you may lose quite a lot of cycles on slow machines. And some values are simply static/per boot, like "%r"  = revision information string.
