The problem

The tab name that sticks.

The old .bat opened the three panes, but the tab stayed "powershell.exe" and, with every command, the shell replaced the title with something else. The .bat was not the cause: the shell rewrites the title. The app passes the two flags that hold the name.

--title "SOUZA-PAIOL"
Sets the name
The project name goes to the tab and to each pane, cleaned of quotes and line breaks and cut at 40 characters.
--suppressApplicationTitle
Holds the name
Stops the shell from rewriting the title. Without it, the first flag lasts until the next command.

With --title and --suppressApplicationTitle, the name stays until the tab closes.

In numbers

Small in size, precise in detail.

Every lit cell is an item the code knows: a stack marker, a folder that is never even opened, a command between the interface and Rust.

The scan

Finds the project by what it is.

The app does not look for a package.json: it looks for the marker of each language and framework, up to two levels below the root folder. Once it finds a project, it stops going down, frontend and backend do not become two projects.

16 stack markers
A package.json means Node, a Cargo.toml means Rust, a composer.json means PHP, an artisan means Laravel… and stacks add up: Node + Rust.
MARCADORES
Loose code counts too
No marker, but .ts, .py, .php or another of the 15 extensions at the root: the folder comes in as Code.
EXT_CODIGO
Front and back in one entry
A folder with marked frontend/ and backend/ becomes a single project, with both stacks. It recognizes 21 part names.
identificar_multipasta()
15 folders never opened
Folders like node_modules, .git, dist, target and vendor: the scan skips right over them.
PASTAS_IGNORADAS
Up to two levels
A plain folder is crossed up to two levels below the root, and the scan runs off the interface thread, without freezing the window.

The app with three projects in a window, next to Windows Terminal open with the three panes

Organization that becomes flow

Pick the projects. Open your workspace.

Up to three terminals side by side or stacked, each project in its own folder.

01 / Select and organize02 / Open the terminalsSide by side or stackedExport to .bat

Each app window becomes a Windows Terminal tab, with up to three panes. The split follows the original .bat math: the i-th pane takes remaining ÷ (remaining + 1) of the previous one (2/3 then 1/2) and all three end up with an exact third.

new-tab -d D:\Projetos\ROBLOX-APP-ASSETSThe 1st project opens the tab.
split-pane -V -s 0.6667 -d D:\Projetos\CINE-CREATOR-STUDIOThe 2nd splits and takes 2/3 of the space.
split-pane -V -s 0.5000 -d D:\Projetos\MOTOR-DESIGNThe 3rd splits that in half: three thirds.

The terminal's vocabulary is inverted: side-by-side panes are a vertical split (-V). The app translates, you choose by the drawing, not the term.

The execution

One call per pane.

One giant command, chained with semicolons, sometimes loses the titles. The app takes the stable path: one wt.exe call per pane, all aimed at the same window, with the pause the window needs to be born.

The app with the three-project window and Windows Terminal open with the three named panes — The result: three panes, each with its project's name.

Why not a single command

Windows Terminal has an intermittent bug that loses titles when several new-tab and split-pane come in a single invocation. Sequential calls, with -w aimed at the same window, are the stable path, and the app still checks each folder before calling.

To go

Becomes a .bat, becomes a shortcut.

The footer button generates a .bat with the same command, to pin to the taskbar, add to Windows startup or schedule. And the whole app is used without taking your hands off the keyboard.
