Indeed. In that thread, I suggested that the tool tip only wait when in the action window. I think this is an important distinction as all too often, the ones in the file list are a right royal ****! Then again, they are also very often invaluable sources of information...
Once again, as we're talking tool tips, I'll re-iterate my request for a toolbar button to toggle tooltips on and off... please
When hovering over things like [notes], [bios], [review], etc. in the Tag Window, you get this great tooltip that allows you to read the tag contents without actually opening the tag up.
I asked for "keep the tooltip open while the mouse is over it" a few years ago, and still think it's a good idea... for the tag window.
I don't think this would be too great for tooltips in the file list, as they are already a bit "in yer face" there.
With images and video, the tooltips are so frustrating when you don't need them, and I just put up with it, and my rising blood pressure, because the trip into options to turn them off is too tiresome, and when I'm done, I won't go back in and turn them on, then I'll be annoyed when I need the tooltip and they don't show... back into options to turn them on again, and so on...
