SUMMARY Currently, if the previews are disabled, the task manager shows nothing when you hover over the icon of an open window. It would be great if in this case the task manager would show the regular tooltips with the app name and window title (as for pinned apps).

Yeah, I was just observing this myself. Fixing it is on my to-do list.
Working on it. Hopefully I'll manage to get it into Plasma 6.3.

Git commit 2340207f2e3f5ffa4b890a007cbb5f5e81957648 by Nate Graham. Committed on 25/11/2024 at 16:42. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. applets/taskmanager: At least show something when thumbnails are disabled There's an option to not show window thumbnails, but when you use it, all tooltips for tasks disappear, not just window thumbnails. This isn't ideal since you lose all feedback about the hovered task. In addition, the behavior doesn't match the text of the option, since more than just tooltips disappear. Instead, show the small title-and-subtitle style tooltips.
