Title of Page Visible While On That Page

Edited 1732053230
I am dumbfounded as to why the page (or map) that I'm currently on isn't displayed anywhere on the screen while I'm on it. Unless I'm missing something, I need to go to the drop-down menu to see this. I know it's a small thing, but WHY?!?!?!?!

Not in the old system and not now with the Map Folders... You always need to open the Page Menu to see the name... Besides, I don't see a reason why this should change. As a player, I don't care about the name of the page I am on and as a GM I don't really need it!

I'd find it useful in some cases, such as when the party is split between pages that are not in the same folder. It's not a "must have", but it would be handy. Maybe displayed near the Page Menu button in the upper right of the screen?

I feel like Rick's example pic helps illustrate the opposite point .... You can easily use the text tool to add ANY title you want (in any color, any position, any size, and have the choice to do it or not), such as "Village of Sword's Pool" on the Map, and this is preferable (to me) over revealing what-could-be secret GM names in the Page Menu.  For example if the PAGE NAME is "Red Dragon Dungeon" but the Players only know it as "The Empty Cave"... 
That's a good point, Gold! I was thinking that the page name would be displayed for the GM's and game creator's only.  Having the name be tied to the Page Menu icon could do that since that icon does not appear in the players' view.
Exactly this! Page names CAN contain Spoilers, so its best for them NOT to be viewable by players... IF you want to include the Name of the Page, do it on the Map itself... The name of the Map is viewable inside the page menu and should stay there ;) Gold said: I feel like Rick's example pic helps illustrate the opposite point ....
