I'd like to customize the information shown by tooltip.
I looked at the tread but I don't understand what I should do.
Do I just need to create a user field called Tooltip and modify what's given on some of the posts here?

[blgentry]

Yes.  Though you might consider Glynor's technique as it allows you to customize tooltips for each type individually in different fields.  Which makes it more compartmentalized and easier to edit.

Thanks, that's what I did.
I just wanted to add some information for Movies.

[Tooltip]

Code: [Select]

FirstNotEmpty([Tooltip - Movie])
[Tooltip - Movie]

Code: [Select]

If(IsEqual([Media Sub Type],Movie,1), <font size="140"><b>[Name]<//b> • [Year]<//font>
If(!IsEmpty([Comment]),[Comment], If(IsEqual([File Type],iso,1),[File Type],TVInfo(SizeDisplay)If(!IsEmpty([Compression]),/ •/ [Compression],/ •/ [File Type])))

If(!IsEmpty([Description]),[Description]

,)If(!IsEmpty([Director]),<b>Director:<//b> [Director]
,)If(!IsEmpty([Country]),<b>Country:<//b> [Country]
,)If(!IsEmpty([Actors]),<b>Actors:<//b> [Actors],)
,)
I'm using MC to catalog all my movies, whether on a hard disc or not.
When it's a dvd or a bluray that is not copied on a hard disc, I add it as a comment: dvd or br. Otherwise, I leave the comment field empty. Obviously, I could also use a custom field for that, if I decided to use comments for other information.

And I test whether [File Type]=iso, since in that case, information such as Duration and Compression is not available.

I've added Genre in Tooltip - Movie:

[Tooltip - Movie]

Code: [Select]

If(IsEqual([Media Sub Type],Movie,1), <font size="140"><b>[Name]<//b> • [Year]<//font>
If(!IsEmpty([Comment]),[Comment], If(IsEqual([File Type],iso,1),[File Type],TVInfo(SizeDisplay)If(!IsEmpty([Compression]),/ •/ [Compression],/ •/ [File Type])))

,)If(!IsEmpty([Genre]),<b>Genre:<//b> [Genre]
,)If(!IsEmpty([Description]),<b>Description:<//b> [Description]

,)If(!IsEmpty([Director]),<b>Director:<//b> [Director]
,)If(!IsEmpty([Country]),<b>Country:<//b> [Country]
,)If(!IsEmpty([Actors]),<b>Actors:<//b> [Actors]
,)

I've added Dimensions in Tooltip - Movie:

Code: [Select]

If(IsEqual([Media Sub Type],Movie,1), <font size="140"><b>[Name]<//b> • [Year]<//font>
If(!IsEmpty([Comment]),[Comment], If(IsEqual([File Type],iso,1),[File Type],TVInfo(SizeDisplay)If(!IsEmpty([Compression]),/ •/ [Compression],/ •/ [File Type])If(!IsEmpty([Dimensions]),/ •/ [Dimensions],)))

I'd like to enlarge the size of the tooltip window (in order to show more information).
Is that possible, and if so, how?

The tooltip will enlarge to show anything that's in the Tooltip field.

So make a huge field and the tooltip will be huge.

[8139david]

In fact, there is an arbitrary limit to the size of the tooltip window, see attached pics (one where Tooltip is defined, one where it is not).

Coming in the first builds of MC22:
Changed: Tooltips can be 80% of the screen height instead of 50%.

[8139david]

Nice, thanks!
What about screen width? Also authorizing 80% would allow the tooltip to display much more information.
Indeed, allowing users to choose these percentages would be fantastic.

[8139david]

To accomodate new information, I have modified my tooltips (see attached pics):

Tootltip

Code: [Select]

FirstNotEmpty([Tooltip - Video])
Tooltip - Video

Code: [Select]

If(IsEqual([Media Type],Video,1), <font size="140"><b>delimit([Name],/ ,)<//b>delimit([Year],/ ,•/ )if(!isequal([Original Title],[Name],1), delimit([Original Title],,•/ ),)<//font>
delimit([Runtime],/ mn/ •/ ,)delimit(firstnotempty([Comment],[File Type]),/ ,)delimit([Dimensions],/ ,•/ )if(isempty([Stacked]), delimit([File Size],,•/ ),)

If(!IsEmpty([Genre]),<b>Genre:<//b> [Genre]
,)If(!IsEmpty([Description-]),<b>Description:<//b> [Description-]

,)If(!IsEmpty([Director]),<b>Rιalisateur:<//b> if(isequal(jakozh, [Original Language], 8), [Director Sort], [Director])
,)If(!IsEmpty([Country]),<b>Pays:<//b> [Country]
,)If(!IsEmpty([Actors]),<b>Acteurs:<//b> firstnotempty([ActorAsCharacter],[Actors])
,),)

In particular, the field Description_ stores a description of the movie in its original language, and Description- is calculated as follows since I'm French:

Description-

Code: [Select]

if(isequal([Original Language],fr,1), firstnotempty([Description_],[Description]), firstnotempty([Description],[Description_]))
