You may call it a hint. I noticed the 'Put' doesn't appear there. But
(non-)existence of sth in the tag line doesn't mean it can't be
issued.

Moreover, I still can't see why it can't work. If I change the tag
line by appending a name (which is not, say, a name of a directory
within the current directory), I don't understand why this couldn't be
saved... and the window couldn't represent the new (or changed) file
from now on.

I don't get what you mean...
