Version:	All	OS:	Windows
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
I run up to 20 Browser sessions at any one time.

While alt-tab provides a partially successful mechanism for identifying the particular connection it is slow to scroll through.

The task bar entries only display "MySQL Query Browser".  

It is extremely difficult to quickly determine which is the correct browser window to open.

How to repeat:
Run large numbers of query browsers to large numbers of different databases and/or connections

Suggested fix:
The connection name/database combination as it appears in the browser window title bar caption eg "Shop 12/database1" is great.

The blue lightning flash icon used in the task bar entries is distictive and makes locating a Query Browser window in the task bar easy. 

Couple the lightning icon with the connection name/database combination as it appears in the browser window title bar caption and dropping words "MySQL Query Browser" would make quickly locating the desired browser possible.

Eg Icon + "Shop 12/database1".

If needs be the database part of this description could be ignored and the change will still substantially improve this issue.

Thank you for a reasonable feature request.

This bug is not scheduled to be fixed at this time.
