OK, this will come next:

Code: Select all

    + Added tweak to show informative file info tips for EXE files:
        FileInfoTipExe=1
      This had been removed recently and silently because under Win10 file info 
      tips for EXE files got extremely slow (probably due to anti-virus).

For checking the details of binaries.

Me too.

The other downside was that I lost all general info in the tooltip.

Apart from the version info, what's so interesting in that tooltip?

Do you experience any delays (hovering EXEs with file info tips enabled) under Win10?

Thanks for adding this tweak.
I am using Kaspersky Internet Security.
I do not see any delays in most programs that have digital signatures.
Only one or two of the programs that do not have digital signature which are suspicious, hovering will activate antivirus scan, which will cause delays to open tool tips.

Do you have Configuration > File Info Tips > Show file info tips > For executables as well, enabled?

Hello,

In XY 19.50 this option doesn't exist.
In the more recent releases of XY, the option exist and works but is disabled by default after an update, why ? :cry:
The amount of informations displayed is far from the previous amount of informations displayed.

Best regards

Does enabling Configuration > File Info Tips > Extra fields, help?

Here is the change log:

Code: Select all

v19.50.0102 - 2019-01-03 18:42
    + Configuration | Information | File Info Tips: Added option "For 
      executables as well". Tick it to show informative file info tips for EXE 
      files.
      It's optional because under Win10 file info tips for EXE files got 
      extremely slow (probably due to anti-virus).
Note that in Win8.1 it is still *enabled* by default, because Win8.1 is much faster than Win10.
