More hierarchical task context in resources view

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,
The current resources tree allows the resource node to be expanded to see a 
list of low level tasks assigned to the resources.
The problem is that if the tasks are part of a hierarchy where the low-level 
task name is not particularly helpful, it is difficult to know which part of 
the project the task relates to.
Imaging the following task tree:
- Book 1
 |- 1st Draft
 |- 2nd Draft

- Book 2
 |- 1st Draft
 |- 2nd Draft

If both of the "1st Draft" tasks are assigned to the same person (John) then 
their resource tree will look like:

- John
 |- 1st Draft
 |- 1st Draft

This is a simplistic example but illustrates the problem. There are many many 
ways to fix this so I'll just suggest the simplest quickest one in the hope 
that it might happen sooner - simply add 'context' to the hover text e.g. 
instead of "Name: 1st Draft" it might say "Name: Book 1 | 1st Draft" or similar.
Thanks.

When will this feature be implemented? It would be great for my cross-project 
resourceplanning

I need this feature so bad :( Without a context, the ressouce diagram makes no 
sense for me, so I put prefixes on every subtask to know to which project the 
task belongs to.

The hierarchy shows up on mouseover now. There is only a small issue. When you 
change the resource view (for instance collapse a resource), the mouseover 
doesn't show anymore. If you select another record the mouseover shows again.

But couldn't you place the tree hierarchy of tasks under the resource instead 
of mouseover?

Thanks for reporting.

We can do anything provided that we have unlimited time. But as long as 
unlimited time is not an option, we do what is easier and probably is good 
enough. 

I am not sure that hierarchy is better, by the way, because it interleaves 
resource assignments with other tasks and it consumes vertical space.

Good to have the mouseovers now! But I can confirm that they do not work on all 
items - I can see no pattern when they work and when not - will report if I 
recognize one.

You need to click the tree after you have expanded or collapsed a node, 
otherwise tooltips won't appear. That's a known pattern.

I noticed that - but even after that some items don't show a mouseover.

- I open the branch of one ressource
- I click on any item
- I roll over one after the other
-> some show a mouseover, some don't.

But I don't want to over-stress this behaviour, because this gantt-chart I am 
testing with is a large and old one we used for a long time now. I attached an 
excerpt. There might be something in the data that messes up the mouseovers. On 
a new chart I see no problems.
