Hi

Is it possible to get the path of a window via scripting? and if not could it be possible to get it added as it would be useful for navigating back to previous windows where the typical navigation structure is not used.

Thanks

Aidan

[system.gui.getOpenedWindowNames()](https://ignition.cimarex.com/main/system/help/index.html?system_gui_getopenedwindownames.htm) will give you a tuple containing the name and path of all open windows.

You can also get a tuple of all windows in the project with system.gui.getWindowNames().
