Version: (using Devel) Compiler: gcc4.3.2 OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources Long tooltips in metadata panel are cut short not displaying its content fully. Also display of those links in one long line isn't user friendly for various reasons (eg. hard to follow, may obscure material outside of main window). If it is possible to use just multiline elements in panel - not just one line cut very quickly - would be great. Of course it would be not possible to fit whole caption from attached screenshot but cutting it after 12 characters is a bit extreme.

Tooltips are now multiline - easier to read, thanks - but still doesn't display whole content of caption: cut after 128 character.
Mik, Without to cut to 128, you can explode screen with a big tool tip size. If you want to find the right value to cut adjust the values set here : http://lxr.kde.org/source/extragear/graphics/digikam/libs/widgets/metadata/metadatalistviewitem.cpp#053 http://lxr.kde.org/source/extragear/graphics/digikam/libs/widgets/metadata/metadatalistviewitem.cpp#055 ... and let's me hear which value is fine for you...

512 characters should be enough for everybody ;)
