Size and Date columns tips disable

Post by tedy »

Hi.
In Details list view I use raw Bytes for filezie column, and short Datetime for Date modified column. There are info tips for only those two columns when I pause the mouse cursor over them. For Size it show the MB version of the filesize, and for Date_Modified it shows also the Age.
Is there a way to disable (turn off) only these two info tips in the list? I don't need them at all. I went through all settings and none seem relevant or working. I have the options for file info tips enabled - they trigger only on the item icon.
Thanks.

I'm sorry, just don't hover these columns and you're not going to be disturbed by some additional info.
XY is going very far in regards to configurability but this definitely seems to be going too far for me.

I'm sorry but I can't agree.
For the sake of the discussion - then why there is a setting Show Tooltips in Menu, Usability which seems to affect the toolbar only? In details view these two columns are quite large in my setup and the mouse has maybe 30% chance to land (and rest) there. The tooltip for filesize includes already raw filesize (which I already see in the list itself) and the MB version which I don't need. Tose tips are annoying. At least if I disable Show Tooltips in settings this should include those tips as well as a workaround. Not sure if this is for Requests or a bug.

Acc. to Help it works as advertised:
Show tooltips
Untick it to hide any tooltips when hovering Toolbars, Tabs, Breadcrumb Bars, Status Bar, or Catalog.
Note that this setting does not affect the File Info Tips (Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box), and other tips inside Tree and List.
But I can see that those tips could be annoying to tippophobes. I put it on my list.
