How to temporarily disable tooltips?

[SuperDude]

I have some questions about tooltips:

1. Where did the option to enable/disable tooltips in the GUI go?

2. How can I temporarily disable tooltips, preferably by using a hotkey?

3. Can the delay time before displaying tooltips be set by the user?

4. There is no mention of tooltips at all on the INI Settings page. Are tooltip settings on another web page?

It appears setting listview_tooltips=1 enables tooltips, and setting it to 0 disables them. Setting the tooltips= entry to 0 or 1 doesn't appear to do anything.

When viewing files in the Preview Pane, each time I select a new file, a tooltip pops up, which sometimes covers the next file's name in the list. It seems the tooltip follows the mouse cursor. Being able to have the tooltip appear at a user-defined location other than by the mouse cursor would be nice.

Thanks again!

listview_tooltips=0
works here, check that you only have one such entry in your config (the last one wins).
But you don't need to disable tooltips.
For me tooltips are only triggered by clicking on the icon of the next file to view.
If I click on the name or any other part of the entry it also changes the viewed file
but doesn*t show any tooltip.

I have the following tooltip entries in my Everything-1.5a.ini file:

search=listview_tooltips=0
listview_tooltips=0
listview_tooltip_max_width=0
show_detailed_listview_tooltips=3

“For me tooltips are only triggered by clicking on the icon of the next file to view.”

Are you talking about selecting the next file using an arrow key instead of clicking on a file which doesn't trigger a tooltip? I don't always select contiguous files, so clicking on another file name triggers the tooltip.

No, I talking about using the mouse , I never use the arrow keys for this.
show_detailed_listview_tooltips is set to 1 in my config.

1. Where did the option to enable/disable tooltips in the GUI go?

This setting was removed.
The old setting simply turned off the "help" tooltips which are too important to hide.
The ini setting still exists if you want to disable these help tips in the options window.

There was never a UI option to disable the result list tooltips which show obscured text or extra file information when hovering over the icon.

use /tooltips=0 to disable the "help" tooltips.

use /listview_tooltips=0 to disable the extra tip text in the result list.

Both can be enabled/disabled independently.

2. How can I temporarily disable tooltips, preferably by using a hotkey?

Please try creating a bookmark to toggle tooltips:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Bookmarks menu, click Add to bookmarks....
• Change the Name to: Toggle Tooltips
• Change the Search to: /listview_tooltips=!
• Set a keyboard shortcut.
• Click OK.

3. Can the delay time before displaying tooltips be set by the user?

I'll add ini settings to control this.
For now, the tips use the system defaults.

4. There is no mention of tooltips at all on the INI Settings page. Are tooltip settings on another web page?

I am working on merging Everything 1.4 ini setting help and Everything 1.5 ini setting help into one page.
Currently, the Everything 1.5 ini setting help only covers new Everything 1.5 ini settings.

For now, please find the help here:
tooltips (Everything 1.4+)
listview_tooltips (Everything 1.4+)
show_detailed_listview_tooltips (Everything 1.4) show_detailed_listview_tooltips (Everything 1.5)
listview_tooltip_max_width (Everything 1.5)

It appears setting listview_tooltips=1 enables tooltips, and setting it to 0 disables them. Setting the tooltips= entry to 0 or 1 doesn't appear to do anything.

tooltips is for the options window.
listview_tooltips is for the result list.

Both can be enabled/disabled independently.

When viewing files in the Preview Pane, each time I select a new file, a tooltip pops up, which sometimes covers the next file's name in the list. It seems the tooltip follows the mouse cursor. Being able to have the tooltip appear at a user-defined location other than by the mouse cursor would be nice.

I think this might be caused by using /show_detailed_listview_tooltips=3
Please try using the value: 1 or 2.

I've updated the help here:
show_detailed_listview_tooltips

Where is the cursor when the tooltip pops up?

Everything 1.5.0.1330a adds the following ini settings to help customize the delay before tooltips are shown:

tooltip_delay_time_reshow
tooltip_delay_time_autopop
tooltip_delay_time_initial (the options tooltip show delay)
listview_tooltip_delay_time_initial (the result list tooltip show delay)
listview_detailed_tooltip_delay_time_initial (the detailed result list tooltip show delay when hovering over the icon)
