DBus commands

Tab UUID

Tabs are uniquely identified with a UUID. Each terminal receives this UUID in the following environment varialbe: GUAKE_TAB_UUID. It can be used to rename the tab from the command line using --tab-index 3c542bc1-7c99-4e73-8d37-e08281bd592c.

Per-directory .guake.yml file

If there is a file named .guake.yml in the current working directory of the shell associated with a tab, Guake will try to read the title from there. The current format is very simple and it will probably change in the future:

title: "My Great Project"
