Summary | 0003866: Missing tooltips in preferences dialog | ||||
Description | This is a meta issue to collect missing tooltips in FC's preferences dialog. Section General: there are no tooltips at all, there should be at least tooltips for: - enable tiled background - save thumbnail into project file - Allow duplicate object labels... - Redirect internal Python... (both options) - Run Macros in Local environment - Recording GUI commands - Record as comment Section Display: there is only one single tooltip, there should be at least tooltips for: - Show counter of frames... - Use OpenGL vertex ... - Enable animation - radio buttons for camera type - Middle Color - Two-side rendering Section Import-Export: There are some tooltips missing: - Create clones - all options in the tab IGES There are missing line breaks in tooltips: - all tooltips in IFC export options Section Start: there is only one tooltip missing: - Use gradient for new file icon - show bounding-box... | ||||
Additional Information | Tooltips help average users a lot since one could then often save to google around what a certain setting actually means. | ||||

FreeCAD Information | |||||
|
- The option "User system" in the units tab should be renamed to "Unit system" because this is what it really is. - The macro option "Recording GUI commands" should be renamed to "Record GUI commands" to avoid confusions. - The 3D view option "Drag at cursor" should be renamed to "Rotate at cursor"" because this is what is actually the case (info from wmayer) |

'Unit System' and 'Record GUI commands' fix FreeCAD Pull Request 2008 |
|
To avoid misunderstandings: I just collect for now since the strings are already frozen for FC 0.18. I will also make some PRs as soon as master is open for FC 0.19 development. |

@uwestoehr lets systematicaly tackle this ticket. What is left to do here? |
|
> What is left to do here? A lot. many missing tooltips. I will PRs to fix this after the final release of FC 0.18. (Currently I am busy with the installer.) |

@uwestoehr awesome. Thanks for all your work on that. BTW, from a translation POV in regards to line breaks, I am not for adding them. I admin the Crowdin, where FC crowdsources it's translations and many a time translators mess up the whitespace. There are many examples but I don't have time to look for one now. |
|
> in regards to line breaks, I am not for adding them OK, but how can we manage that the tooltips become readable? Currently the IFC dialog tooltips are much too long for my laptop screen. If no line breaks are allowed, maybe there is an option for a "soft line break" that will automatically break lines if they are on screen longer then e.g. 8 cm? If there are no soft line breaks I think we must add them manually since unreadable tooltips can be worse than no tooltip. |
|
With this PR: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/2349 the bug can in my opinion be closed |
