longWindowTitles

The longWindowTitles returns or sets whether HyperCard displays the full path name of a stack in the title bar of all windows that contain stacks. Its default value is false.

WARNING: Commands or properties that reference stack windows by name won't work once you set the longWindowTitles to true because the name becomes the full path name of a stack.

For example, compare the following two commands:

The first works only when the longWindowTitles is false, the second only when it's true. Check the value of the longWindowTitles before you use such commands or properties, or force it to be false in your stack (which takes away the feature).
