Why does evalid insert a string like "<eVplay>" in a desktop window
that I'm trying to use in my tests?

This question has come up several times recently.

The desktop is a unitary resource, and windows on the desktop can have titles, but they need not.

When activity on a desktop window is recorded by eValid, eValid needs to have a name to confirm for that window's title, so if it does not find one then eValid assigns <eVplay> to it. [eValid also uses the same string to mark when, at playback time, a particular window has been interrogated.]

At test playback time, eValid will do the same, so the playback will be 100% consistent.
