Comment 8 for bug 328663

I like having one multi-purpose wildcard. I am thinking about how helpful it
would be to have the whole URL in the file name, though. %title gives the
title (of the window or of the Web page?), %name gives the name of the
application or the URL. Not sure. My current needs are only for the title of
the window. I think I can hack it so that if I go through the window menu
(get_window_by_xid) I can capture the title and then hack a wildcard
replacement in. I have a bucket of screenshots to take for a book that is
due to the publishers in two weeks. I think I am avoiding rewriting by
working on this. Thus a quick fix should get me back to work. I hope.

Thanks for the response.
