CTB tooltips provide too much info to be considered a tooltip

Post by klownboy »

Recent changes expanded tooltips for CTBs to include info from the action block(s). That may have been considered to be helpful, but no, it's just too much info and confusing to what should be an easy-to-read and succinct tooltip. It certainly isn't any more. To those who have taken time to make the tooltip abundantly clear with separate names for left, right, and even middle actions the additional info makes it simply confusing. If you are not inclined to reversing that direction, please consider an option to only include the name as it was before. Honestly, I don't need to see all that stuff in a tooltip.Thanks.

I mostly use SC load where the first line gives the actual scriptfile.xys to be loaded. For me this is quite helpful.

I agree and changed it:

Code: Select all

    * Custom Toolbar Buttons: Now they show (parts of) the script in the tooltip only if 
      CTRL is held down.

Thanks Don, hopefully Filehero and others are okay with that approach.

I'm perfectly fine with an optional approach. Thanks for asking, very kind. :)
