Attachments: shot of many run tabs in the output window

shot of many run tabs in the output window

When running multiple files at the same time, there is no way to differentiate their output tabs other than the order in which they were run.  Each tab is named <project name> (run) #<tab number>.  Labeling the tab with the actual class/file being run would make tracking down output much easier.

To reproduce, run two classes with main methods and look at the Output window.  It will have two tabs with identical names save a number at the end.

Tab name is not set by Output window, but by something that runs the process. Reassigning. Please evaluate, thanks.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
