I wanted to check if a notebook was open and warn the user before copying the file to a repository. This isn't the exact code, but it demonstrates the issue:

TableForm[(Information[#, "WindowTitle"] &) /@ Notebooks[]]

Most of the notebooks appear correctly. But one notebook is being petulant and doesn't report the file name displayed in the title:

The hash like string appears in place of the filename doesn't match the filename in the Notebook and none of the properties can be accessed using "Information". I suspect it is related to OneDrive, but all the files are stored in folder linked to OneDrive. This is the only Notebook which has a result of this form.

Has anyone seen anything like this?

  • $\begingroup$ All of my notebooks are stored in OneDrive. I am using version 12.3, and I get the correct list of notebooks, without any error. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Are there special characters (or some other distinguishing feature) of the notebook that mis-behaves? $\endgroup$

This appears to be a possible malformed notebook. I had modified a notebook file by adding a comment at the top of the notebook programmatically. The odd hash like string was the UUID. So it's probably my fault! I will close the question. Thanks for your time folks! Mark
