Hi!

When I browse through my movie files using detail view, hovering over a file brings up the movie info popup with a full sized cover image. This can be quite annoying, because the box covers most of the screen. In MC14 the popup was much smaller with just a thumbnail. Is it possible to make options to resize, disable and maybe also set the time needed to hover before the box pops up?

You can disable tooltips (in options, search for 'tooltip'), but not configure them.

The video tooltips were added to make it easier to see actors, keywords, and other metadata for videos.

Thanks. It's a great feature, and very useful for example when I have friends over and we're browsing through the list for a movie to watch. Other times, like when I'm browsing for a specific file, it gets in the way, so it's nice that it's possible to turn off

Being able to set the amount of seconds of hovering before it pops up would make it even more versatile though.

Matt,

Are you still considering making the pop-up configurable? 

This would be a big thumbs up from me.  I have all of the information I want from PVD but at the moment there is no way to see it (nicely) outside of theatre view.  I would love to see the MPAA rating, IMDB rating, etc.  Even some simple selection of fields would be great.

A configurable pop-up would be nice, but here's an alternative you may not have considered...

I don't know how that movie info page is relevant to the popup, it's nice to be able to just hover over a file when browsing (sometimes I find details list view much more efficient than thumbnails/theatre view because of a lot less need for scrolling) and it's nice that you can turn it off when not needed, but it'd be even nicer if one could specify that the info pops up after hovering for a set amount of seconds instead of right away.

By the way how do you get to that info page you're showing?

By the way how do you get to that info page you're showing?

Open the Tag Action Window dialog.  Click the "up arrow" in the upper right corner (which says "Maximize" in the hovertext).

The purpose of my screen shot was to illustrate (to struct) there is another way to display video meta data in readable form outside of Theatre View. The tag window is indirectly configurable (tags shown and order) using the Show tags in current view option. Tooltips will display memo fields, and list and memo fields can be but into edit mode for a better/different view.

Contrary to what my screen shot suggests, I too prefer a details view. And while I do like the file tooltip, it does tend to get in the way when I'm trying to use the list as a list. I don't think a delay would help much. When I want to see it, I want it immediately. And even with a delay, it's still going to get in the way. I would much prefer an on/off toggle in the interface—so I can change the behaviour according to what I'm doing at the time. And it would be especially nice if the behaviour would revert to the default set in options when the view is changed in any way. Then I could toggle it off when it gets in the way, and not have to remember to turn it back on. Others might turn them off in options, and toggle them on only when needed.
