Description Piotr Tarnowski 2007-10-15 22:42:14 UTC

Version:           0.9.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
OS:                Linux

I have patched DigiKam 0.9.2 for bigger hint in browsing mode. If you tag your collection with many tags or write long comments you may find this usefull. When comment or tag list is bigger than one line of standard description I put it in separate section which covers both columns of hint.

Piotr,

I don't like this layout of album items tool tips. This can be give strange results if tags list or comments are very long.

Gilles, 

I know it was quick and dirty solution but I couldn't find a way to present in compact way all tags of photo. With standard tips and deep tags hierarchy I can only see one or two tags per photo while I expect 10 or more to be attached.

Hi Piotr,

thanks for looking into this issue, which I also consider a problem.
While your solution is an improvement (at least in some cases ;-),
I am wondering whether for example a scrollbar in the tooltip would be
a more general solution?
I.e., if there is a long comment and/or many tags there should be 
an additional scroll-bar within the tool-tip
(Note that I have no idea whether something like this is possible with Qt ...).

Best, Arnd

No scrollbar in tooltip! digiKam is already accessibility nightmare.
Don't make it worse.

Comment 7 Arnd Baecker 2007-10-16 19:20:42 UTC

OK, what's your suggestion to solve the problem then?

Comment 8 caulier.gilles 2007-10-16 19:34:33 UTC

In Qt3, there is no way, but with QT4, it will be certainly new API features to use.

Comment 9 Mikolaj Machowski 2007-10-16 22:45:21 UTC

Make size of font in tooltips and photo plates configurable. Show
full tooltips regardless of font size (default size stays as is), in
plates cut strings as necessary.

Comment 10 caulier.gilles 2011-12-23 10:47:28 UTC

fonts size is now configurable in tooltips.
a lots of fix have be done in tootips.

I close this file now as workforme.
