[solved] File Info Tip and Hover Box not showing

Post by Garonne »

I currently have an issue of my File info Tip and Hover Box not showing at all though - I think - I did everything correctly...
The tooltip only displays the simple file name.

Can anyone tell me, what I'm missing here, since it used to work in 23.80 or 23.70...

EDIT: Trying to do a screenshot of the tooltip but failing...

Any further config pages needed? Just ask.

Does it work in a fresh instance?

I guess... I just don't know what's wrong with my config...

New setup works fine... I "just" need to redo any configs I did in the past years...

Well... I can export my catalog and copy my PFA settings... At least I didn't do a lot of scripting...
So I guess it can be done...

What fields do you have selected for "Select Standard Fields..." under File Info Tips and what context and types under HoverBox "Select Context..." and "Select Item Types..."? More than just "Name" under "Select Standard Fields..."?

Basically I didn't change anything there...
  • File Info Tips > Standard Fields: 0-12 ticked
  • File Info Tips > Extra Fields: All 13 ticked
  • Hover Box > File Info Types: All 8 ticked
  • Hover Box > Context: 1-3 ticked (Tree, List, Tiles and Thumbnails)

My main page settings are nearly identical to yours with the exception of: "Only while the shift key is held down" under File Info Tips is checked. Only because I didn't want the Info Tips popping up constantly and everywhere when moving the cursor around over filenames.

Maybe you ticked this?

Wanted to tell you, I did a new install and it's working now, when I saw that note (I somehow missed it earlier)...

Guess what? Yeah. That's been the issue...
