            Bug ID: 139420
           Summary: Qualify window title for running presentations
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.7.3 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Impress
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: hiran.chaudhuri at gmx.net

Description:
When I start presenting an Impress document the presentation goes fullscreen
and I like it. However, when I want to share the running presentation with
others via Teams, Skype, WebEx or else I sometimes need to find the window by
title. Having just "LibreOffice 6.0" just confuses me and seems to be an
impediment for others.

Therefore I suggest to set a window title similar to the editing impress window
and prefix it with "presenting".

so opening my presentation DemoGoodstuff.odp would show a window

and starting the demo would open a fullscreen window with the title
"presenting DemoGoodstuff.odp - LibreOffice Impress"

Steps to Reproduce:
1. on Ubuntu Linux 18.04 or 20.04, create a presentation with the given
LibreOffice installation
2. Start a WebEx call, Openmeetings, Jitsi-Meet or some other videoconferencing
tool in the browser (using WebRCT)
3. Try to share the running presentation as application, not the whole screen

Actual Results:
The WebRCT function in the browser will show all open windows' titles, the one
you are searching for is "LibreOffice 6.0". If you are lucky you can see a
thumbnail and decide from that what to share.

Expected Results:
Wish: a qualified window name as suggested above


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
This has been tested both on Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 20.04. AFAIK this has
never been any different and is only getting important when trying to share the
window.
However the fix should be fairly simple.
