Put filename instead of image for script on inspector #7483

Closed eon-s closed 7 years ago

eon-s commented 7 years ago

I don't know how will be with visual script but for GDScript makes no sense to have a miniature of the code when one only need to know the script file name.

Currently, I have to put the cursor over it and wait a bit for the tooltip to be able to read the file name of the script.

So, I would prefer to have the file name (not full path, just the name) instead of that image on script section (for text based scripts, at least).

Since this is marked "discussion": I totally agree. Those zoomed-out textual previews never helped me. At least show the first lines in a readable size if you really wanna go for a thumbnail.

Alternatively. make a procedural image for each script?

I'm ok for zoomed-out icons in the file explorer because the file name is visible anyways (that's the best you can do IMHO, apart from showing a GD icon) but in the inspector it's especially inconvenient due to the fact we don't see that name.

Yes, I agree that showing the images of the scripts isn't useful. However #7133 needs to be fixed also or it will still require a mouseover for tooltip in most cases to see the filename.
