Shell.Title and Window.Title currently doesn't propagate to the catalyst window title

Description

The title on the window and shell component don’t currently propagate to the UIScene title property.

Here’s an example of a workaround https://github.com/PureWeen/dotnetConfDemo2022/blob/main/dotnetConfDemo/Windows/ScopedWindow.cs#L35

most apps don’t flip title based on the current page…

They usually do based on context and for accessibility reasons. Ideally your window title will append/include the context of where you are in an app, that way if you have multiple windows, or you have multiple instances of an app, the screen reader + window.title will give your window context.

For example, every window of your browser bases the title on the currently visible page.

Notepad will prefix the filename.

The Window.Title should probably be an attached property like how we do NavigationPage.Title

@PureWeen is this still a thing? I feel like Window.Title now works and I am not sure if Shell.Title going to Window.Title is 100% desired as most apps don’t flip title based on the current page… But maybe I am wrong. I have a workaround that may be a feature?

You only have one Shell for your window so the Shell and the window are synonymous. The Title for the Page itself will be set on the ShellContent or the Page itself.
