And I find those file info tips to be one the BEST and most useful features of XY which, when I'm somewhere else without access to XY, really miss!
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

This has come up previously (probably many many times)

The thing I like about the method above is that if you hold Shift down the File Info Box pops up. Best of both worlds.

I have not tried the menu fix in this thead and it may work as the fix above but if it doesn't then you've got the option of changing.

Good tip, I tend to forget about this. Maybe I should raise this tweak to UI level?

Code: Select all

FileInfoTipHoldShift=1
The info popup will work only if you hold shift button and hover.
