Display user (administrator)? #11

Thanks for an amazing extensions.

We are running VS as a "normal" user and in some cases in order to attach to eg IIS we run it elevated. By default, VS then changes "Microsoft Visual Studio" into "Microsoft Visual Studio (Administrator)". I guess it's the [ideName] that changes? But we'd rather get rid of "Microsoft Visual Studio" since, well, yes, obviously we're running VS. Any ways we could get the "(Administrator)" part of the name though?

It is not possible with the current version, however I will look into it. It could be solved in a more generic fashion with string manipulation feature suggested here https://github.com/mayerwin/vs-customize-window-title/issues/8 (not already implemented). We could also add a dedicated tag "[ideNameWithoutName]" for a faster support, but not sure it is a good idea if the use case is not sufficiently common.

Just thinking here, considering string manipulation or a complete scripting engine is probably is huge task... could do with an [elevated] tag that would only render when elevated, and display an "Elevated string" configured in options / Patterns.

So one could define that string to "(whatever)" and use a pattern of eg "[solutionName][elevated]", and when running elevated the title would become "My Solution (whatever)".

Happy to look into it and see if I can do a PR for it, if you think it's not too specific and has a chance to be useful.

Hi, I have added the [elevationSuffix] tag in the latest release, it should fit the bill without needing to add an option just for this. I basically parse it from the IdeName (which includes the elevationSuffix).

Works quite well as well, now I'm back to the official release. Super thanks!
