Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe it. Screenshot_20221031-203807_Neo Backup~2

Especially for new users, the meaning of the buttons isn't always clear. I've seen other apps show an info tooltip with a textual representation of the action behind it when tapping and holding buttons.

Also, a button with a cog as icon that leads to the app's settings would be great.

we had this already, but they are gone with the redesign using the new Jetpack Compose lib (which eases development a lot).

The Compose lib doesn't support tooltips, yet. We don't want to write our own workaround or use some existing from others, because it will probably be implemented in the main libs not too far in the future (hopefully).

The buttons are explained on the info page (settings / top right info button (i)).

While trying to find the (i) you mentioned, I found that the (i) next to the app name will send you straight to the app info. Never noticed that before but it works for me.

Maybe some day Jetpack Compose will also support tooltips but as far as I'm concerned, this request can be closed now.
