I've found that if I enable the option 'For executables as well' for File Info Tips, then enable 'Use Standard shell file info tips', then enable 'Extra fields', the field 'Bitness' is enabled for tooltips on executables even if nothing is selected in the list of Extra fields. It seems that Bitness has been hardcoded into that list of Extra fields rather than being selectable/visible in that list.

Re: Bitness has been hard-coded rather than selectable in 'Extra fields'
OK, sounds like that was added under the assumption that everybody uses XYplorer's tooltips rather than the ones from the OS. In my case, you can see from the options I described enabling, it was kind of weird that I specifically said to use the ones from the OS and then specifically add just *these* specific ones in the following list, and then I found that bitness came along for the ride even though it wasn't in the list. Anyway, I'm OK with showing bitness, I just find it a bit out of keeping with XYplorer's ethos that it was hard-coded.
