Tooltips aren't informative #494

Open tsujan opened 5 years ago

tsujan commented 5 years ago
Expected Behavior

Tooltips are usually used to add something that doesn't exist in the GUI. A desktop file can contain a "Comment" section and the main menu (of lxqt-panel) shows it. Why not showing it here?

Current Behavior

In the case of lxqt-config, tooltips only show full names. OK, that's good because the GUI names may be elided but it isn't enough.

Context

My recent obsession with tooltips in libfm-qt (done).

BTW and just as a reminder, lxqt-panel's main menu apparently prefers GenericName to Comment for the tooltip; it shows Comment only when there's no GenericName . That's far from ideal, IMO.

@tsujan - your are absolutely right, no discussion about :)

Good to know that it isn't a problem only from my perspective :)
