using ALT-TAB in Baremetal edition doesn't tell you what VMs are running.
Submitted by Kenneth D Foster on March 21, 2007 - 12:55pm.
After starting a LivePC running in the Baremetal edition you can ALT-TAB between them. However, the screen that comes up when you start TABBING just lists them all as unnamed. Is there any way to get this to show the name of the LIVEPC? or is this a bug that will be fixed in a future version.
Thanks.
that is true, but....

I have 4 to 6 running at the same time. I'd like to be able to alt-tab between them and actually see which one i'm bringing to the foreground.
so, it looks like this is something that needs to be addressed (at least from my point of view).
The terminal name shows up ok

Getting the names into the alt-tab menu would be handy to those of us who run more than one virtual pc at a time.
I noticed that if you bring up a terminal with F5 that it shows as xterm in the alt-tab menu, but virtual pcs and even multiple browser windows show as unnamed.
That is an interesting

That is an interesting feature. We will see what we can do about that. There may be an easy solution.
If you have other suggestions, don't hesitate to post them here.

another suggestion

This thread should probably be moved to the suggestions forum, but since its here, i'll keep it going.
it would also be nice if the LivePCs wouldn't disappear off the desktop. when i click on the desktop they all disappear and I have to alt-tab to bring them back up. That is the reason it would be nice to have them detailed in the alt-tab menu. If, on the other hand, they would minimize down to a task bar at the bottom of the screen and you could just click on them to start them, that would probably be just as good, at least for me.
The LivePC names do not show
The LivePC names do not show up as you noticed. Just selecting the "My LivePCs" will show "running" to the right of the LivePC logo.
