Feature Request: Add "Customize Tooltip" to the MC Taskbar Icon's header context menu. This item would open a window to specify a custom expression for the tooltip text.
Discussion:
The MC Taskbar Icon's tooltip text shows [Artist] - [Title] for the currently playing track, a very nice feature introduced in MC version 25.0.79 for windows
https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=121465.0 (https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=121465.0).
I would like to add [Album] and [Year (release)] in my own format.
This request is for adding a context popup similar to that for the Display Window header: Customize Display... > Play Mode (Main) > Title.
-
Alternative: Use the Title line of the Display Window (Customize Display... > Play Mode (Main) > Title) as the taskbar icon's tooltip text.
This adds some logical flexibility without introducing a new menu item and popup.
The whole idea is to quickly access basic info for current playing track without opening the full MC GUI.

I agree with the idea. I'll see what I can do. Thanks.

28.0.98 (1/6/2022) https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,131660.0.html (https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,131660.0.html):
2. NEW: Added Options > General > Advanced > Taskbar Tooltip (leave blank for the default, use an expression like [Artist] - [Name] to customize).
Nice! Thanks Matt.
Here are two of my favorite expressions. Each creates a mind-ear memory game, played while I work on other things at the desktop:
[Artist]: [Name] ([Album] 'right([date (year)],2)) [Track #]//[Total Tracks]
[Artist] | [Name] | [Album] 'right([date (year)],2) ([Track #]//[Total Tracks])
Additional Requests for icing on the cake:
- Activate HTML tags < > for the tooltip text, such as italics, bold, font color, etc.
- Auto-expand the tooltip width to accommodate the entire line of text.
- Provide two independent lines, or standard HTML tag < br > to break line.
(Not to be greedy, but I think these would add significant delight.)
