It would be great if the page title could be hidden in views pages as we can do now with entities.

You can just set the title to none in the view.

Which sets the title tag to empty text. Allowing hiding of Views h1 titles gives more flexibility in how that information is displayed on the page.

For example, a View page acting as a homepage that features a carousel marquee. It doesn't make sense to have a h1 tag with the title of the View above this marquee, nor anywhere else on the page. It does make sense to have this within the title.

Basically anywhere you use a View as a page but don't need nor want a h1 tag, but still want that text to appear in title. Or even just repositioning the h1. Currently there is a Views title field you can use, but the default h1 title will still display. What is the point in that?

Your theme shouldn't be printing the title element or wrapper if no title is present.

As an alternative option, though, you could create a block display for the View then add it to the home page without a block title. Use the Empty Page module for the home page ("node" callback").

You don't understand the use case presented.

I create a View. I want this View to have a <title> as defined in the <head>. I do not want this View to have a title as defined in the <h1>. If I set my View's title to <none> then my <title> is empty.

In order to to have a <title> set but no <h1> displayed you actually have to write custom code in order to not show the <h1> (or use the Page Title module and re-create your View).

This isn't an issue of a theme printing out an empty <h1> tag. It is an issue of a page not having a <title> if no title is set within the View's display. Additionally, positioning comes in to play. If you want to re-position the title to, say, the footer for some odd reason -- you cannot.

But, regardless of all that, this functionality was added to Display Suite in a past commit. This issue was fixed though I do not know which update fixed it. In order to utilize it you must create a manage the View page's layout with DS and make sure the "Views title" option is set to disabled. This will allow the page title to function correctly, while not displaying a content title.

Just out of curiosity, is it fixed for you in 1.x or 2.x?
