Feature Request: --dry-run mode for /extract{,all}name{,s}

[iam-TJ]

I've adopted your extension for one really useful feature: stash/unstash.

I juggle many projects at once and allocate a window to each - currently 16 windows, each with many tabs. I adopted "Window Titler" to help with this but having all windows open - even if minimized - causes issues in terms of memory usage, clutter, searching and more.

I have this combined with multiple profiles active at the same time.

So here I am with 16 windows with prefix titles of the form "[Tj - Bugs FYI]" (that is Profile Name - Title) and I'd like to test the regular expression before I actually allow Winger to change the window titles.

Is it possible to either add a switch or an additional command that would apply the regular expression but display the output in a new tab?
Even better if the command opens a window or tab with a text box where one can iterate edit/apply/edit/apply and accumulate the iterations for comparison (rather than replacing all output each time a new reg-exp is applied).

Bonus points for adding variable replacement so one can cause the current Profile Name to be inserted!

In short, you want to be able to preview the output of /extractallnames <regex>? Sounds like a good idea. To keep it simple, I'd make the output-previews appear live in the name-fields as you type a regex, not a new separate page.

Simple also means the command is meant to extract one thing, a name, per window. I'm not so keen on supporting "variable replacement" or anything more than a name + decoration in a title preface. Can I suggest you manually add the profile name in the title preface prefix, since it's a local (per-profile) setting? Example: prefix "[Tj - " and postfix "] ".
