| Summary | 0000519: New default mode for track tips | ||||
| Description | A beta tester brought up a good point: Usually, when the user highlights a track in the tracklist, there are multiple properties that are not fully visible (either because they're off the side of the screen, or because they extend beyond the width of the column). The current implementation allows users to easily see details that are obscured by a single column, but does not show details that fall under the cases described earlier. An alternate (default) tooltips implementation would show All fields that contain data in the order in which fields are arranged in the column selection list, whenever the user moves the cursor over _any_ field for _any_ track. The information should appear as follows: Title: xxx Artist: yyy etc... The functionality can be enabled/disabled via a configuration entry in the Options|General pane: [x] Show all track properties in tooltips | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

Maybe this should be another bug, but it's quite related to this one: Users often request the option to disable all tooltips in MM (see e.g. http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7408). This also should be added as an option. |

I'm not sure if this was implemented in the intended way, I'd expect that unchecking [ ] Show tooltips for obscured track properties wouldn't then show _any_ tooltip on tracklist. Also, by default, I'd prefer the old behaviour - i.e. only show missing part of single field. Let's discuss when Rusty sees the new build. |

Tested in 1050. It doesn't work quite right: 1) [ ] Show tooltips for obscured track properties . . [ ] Show all track properties in tooltips OR [ ] Show tooltips for obscured track properties . . [x] Show all track properties in tooltips Should cause no tooltips to display. This currently shows tooltips for the selected field if it's obstructed. 2) [x] Show tooltips for obscured track properties . . [ ] Show all track properties in tooltips Should cause tooltips to display on a field by field basis. This currently shows tooltips for all properties (just like below) 3) [x] Show tooltips for obscured track properties . . [x] Show all track properties in tooltips Should cause tooltips to display whenever the user places focus on any field if fields appear off the edge of the screen. This currently works correctly. As jiri said, we can leave option 2 as the default. (note: if we want to simplify this into a single dropdown we could e.g. Show tooltips for ______________^ (individual Track properties i.e. current default behavior, all track properties i.e. show it for all properties). |

Raised to immediate since we need to finalize this to lockdown the UI. |
