add tooltip on hover #39

let us see the specific time on hover, without clicking in wrong moment

zao commented 7 years ago

It may be possible to get a tooltip on a timer, or it may screw up window focus and steal clicks. I don't remember what trouble I ran into last time, and I don't have any infrastructure set up to build the seekbar anymore, due to it being stuck on an ancient toolchain for Boost and other dependencies.

Does it mean it's technically dead?

zao commented 7 years ago

It's mature, like an old cheese. The barrier to hack on it is that I need to dig up or set up a new VM every time, to have the environment to build it. It's been this way for years and I can't really change the environment without screwing over existing users.

I could port it to newer environment and release a seekbar2, but that means finding the time to do it. See the forum thread for further lamentations on this.

If I could still work on the component, your feature request would be reasonable.
