Hi, I would like to suggest to do some more planning. Now the same information, and a bit more, that the tooltip shows is also available also from right click, layer properties, but no for all type of layers, for example WMS layers.
It might be good to improve the Layer properties view so that it works for all layer types. The output could be copy-pasteble, and there could even be be buttons to run Layer statistics, Layer attribute statistics and Layer feature statistics also from the layer properties output window. That way the Layer properties would become the primary tool for accessing layer data. The tooltip box could be reserved for quick looks in more generalized format and it could be acceptable to cut long source paths etc. I think it is good that the tooltip shows the layer name because it is not always clear from which layer the info comes from the layer list. -Jukka Rahkonen- ________________________________________ edgar soldin wrote: Peppe, consider breaking long strings into several lines for display in the tooltip. look here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/868651/multi-line-tooltips-in-java for a proper width i'd suggest the width of the underlying layertreenamepanel. ..ede On 15.03.2015 20:45, Giuseppe Aruta wrote: > Hi Michael, Andrei, Ede, > I put the tooltip to visualize all the possible information available, > expecially datasource and sourcefile. > WMS and WFS layers have even 5 lines (layer name, datasource, Url, CRS and > Envelope. > RasterImageLayer tooltip shows also the type of raster file on Datasource > line > I can try to reduce the width of tooltips, I choose that size as, in some > cases, the path of a file should be quite long.
