Hovering what?

Post by admin »

Configuration | Information | File Info Tips | Show file info tips has a tooltip and it says: "Show a tooltip when hovering a filename in the file list." Today I noted that it's actually hovering the whole Name column width, not only the filename proper, that triggers the File Info Tip / Hover Box. I never noted this because I always tick "Show info tips only when hovering file icon".

Hmm, I think this should be changed to what the tooltip says: Only hovering the filename proper should pop a tip / box. What do you think?

I agree, for another reason: it seems to me that info tips create a race condition or interference with "Open on single click on icon".

I agree also. It would probably minimize some unintended popups of the hover box as well.

Definitely.

BTW, shouldn't "Show info tips only when hovering file icon" be the factory default?

There could be some disagreement on this, but I'd say yes.
