wxMac: The dot in the red circle in document windows

[Stefan Csomor]

Hi

there are two related attributes with a document that should be supported, and the question really is where to put them in the hierarchy, one is the modified dot, the other one is the filepath of the document, allowing things like document drag/drop and folder path popup when command-clicking on the window title.

any preferences ?

Thanks,

Stefan
