Partially implemented Unique Icon For Camera2 And Shorter Titles For The Taskbar

[s3igell]

When running Multiple Instances of BYE, it becomes a bit of a problem identifying which Instance you are bringing to the Foreground from just the TaskBar Icons (and limited Laptop Resolutions rarely allow much of the individual Main Window Title Bars to be Visible).  It is also problemmatic that the relative positions on the TaskBar can change without notice, especially as PHD2 seems to do something that "promotes" it's Program Icon to the far-right end of the TaskBar Icon list.

 

It would really help if the Camera2.*.exe were to have something Unique in it's Icon - even just a Red "2" in the bottom-right quarter.

It would also help of the TaskBar Program Titles were shorter - short enough that more than "BackyardEOS 3.1.2 - Premium E..." were to show as Windows pops up the little Live Preview for the TaskBar Icon as you Hover on it.

It would also help if the Instance were Explicitly Listed on that TaskBar Program Title - currently one is rather handicapped if one has two of the same Model DSLR as even the Connected Camera Model portion of the TaskBar Icons are then identical.

Partially done.  The task bar in BYE 3.1.3 with have shorter name.  Aka "BYE (camera name)" instead of "BackyardEOS 3.1.0 Premium Edition (camera name)".

Good idea. In the meantime, FYI, you can right click --> properties and change the icon.

 

Yeah I wish BYEOS could distinguish between instances of identical camera models. I have that problem too. I wonder if we can hack the camera firmware to change it (and if that would break anything).?
