OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.18-64GB-SMP

Tooltips are missing on all GUI items.
Nothing happends if you leave the mouse over a button for instance.

Works in KDE 3.2 RC1.
Comment 2 Otto Bruggeman 2004-01-24 13:51:17 UTC
Yes but not for the buttons in the configure kompare dialog pages. Almost fixed this locally though. Expect a commit related to this this weekend.

Bah this also implements a lot of tooltips for the gui items on the diff pages 
in the configure dialog, and adds 1 extra diff option. Still a mess though so 
i'll need to redo the layout some day. Usability people care to help out with 
that before 3.3 some time ?

Is this enough tooltips for your taste or do you want more Amilcar ? Lately i 
feel like a male version of the fairy godmother because of the many wishes i 
grant :)

Comment 4 Amilcar do Carmo Lucas 2004-01-25 22:05:54 UTC
Sorry. There are still things missing in the Apearence, Diff, Format and Exlude tabs. :(

One other missing thing is that the caption on the status bar should Explain what the menu item is suposed to do. Take a look at KDevelop. If you select "Edit->Find in files" you get "Shearch for expressions over several files" in the status bar.

This improves usability.

Thanks for all the whish granting. Kompare is a great app.
Helps me a lot developing KDevelop.

I don't like the show some help in the statusbar of a different window. But i will add more tooltips and whatsthis information for all the different gui items on all tabs this time :) (I knew it could be improved that's why i did not close the bug yet)
Comment 6 Jeff Snyder 2005-06-06 21:44:35 UTC
This is gonna be a little spammy... I'm reassigning everything that's currently 
assigned to bruggie (who's been the default assignee for bugs since time began) 
to the new list address. 
 
Bruggie: if you're working on one or more of these atm, please snatch 'em 
back.. 
 
Everyone, esp. Joshua and Bruggie: if this genrates 33 mails, my sincere 
apologies..

Silly me, I copied the wrong bug number. There was some info in this commit that applies to the other bug.

SVN commit 929702 by bruggie:

CCBUG: 61391 Add even more "what's this" strings to the diff options. Still a
few pages left to do. Finally fully remove the options for RCS and Ed, they
will never be implemented by me.
