Is there a way to have the File System Browser GUI display what GFileSystem class is being used to read the file system?

I'm working on a GFileSystem class that overlaps with one that is built-in to Ghidra. Ghidra thankfully gives me the option when I select the option to open a file as a File System. However, the GUI then gives no further indication of my selection. A File Browser window using the built-in GFileSystem class looks basically identical to one using mine. The titlebar merely indicates the name of the file that was opened and the tool that it was opened from. GFileSystem does have a getName() method, is it possible to make this appear in the titlebar or elsewhere?

I expected there to be something in the "Get Info" dialog, but it looks like there is not.

Yeah. I think having something in the title bar would be appreciated. So it's visible right then and there.

Actually, it seems like there is something in the "Get Info" dialog, but it's a bit tricky to spot. The FSURL include a scheme that is the string type of the filesystem. It's not ideal, but I guess it can work as an indicator.

Does your file system use the same type string as another gfilesystem? I would recommend against that.

Nice! I'll take a look.

Is there a branch where this is the case? It still seems to import from GFileSystemBase on the latest master (commit d73e871):

I can push it to a fork if you just want to look at it. It's something I have been working on the last few days...it contains some fixes for #7289. I'm just not quite done with it yet.

Looks interesting! I might use it for reference later, but I am working on other stuff at the moment. Thanks for pointing me to it!
