Feature Request: Tooltips #107

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Version Info
TongueTied: 1.3.5

Some elements of the UI are not clear. Tooltips would make the UI more
understandable and easier to use.

E.g.: Context in Keyword Details -> It is just a description for users of
where the keyword is used, the context.

Sounds like a reasonable request. I was trying to make the UI as intuitive as
possible to avoid the use of tool tips and help. But if it is unclear, then 
perhaps
it is needed :) I will look into it.

Unfortunatelly, there are some issues. A second one is if you create a new 
Bundle.
What do "Default Bundle" and "Global Bundle" stand for? (I am from the Java 
world!)

Fair enough. Default bundle is really just to help make creating translations 
easier
and save some mouse clicks. When a new keyword is created then the translations 
are
assigned the "Default" bundle by default. The default can change over time but 
there
is only ever 1 default bundle at one time. 

A bundle marked as global means that translations will be included in the 
export.
There can be zero-many global bundles. It works like this, for example:

myBundle has the keywords:
key.one=one
key.two=two

globalBundle has the keywords:
key.two=2
key.three=3

so when you export you will get for myBundle:
key.one=one
key.two=two
key.three=3

Let me know if that is not clear. I should probably add a entry to wiki 
explaining
this concept too :)

cheers,
Ben

This totally makes sense, please add it to the wiki! Thanks for your quick 
response!
If you would point me how to provide some JavaFX support, I could help you in 
that. I
have already check the sources and saw that I would need to extend/subclass the
Importer... (sorry for OT)
