The last change adds the text **(using project settings)** after the **Saving Files** title if a project is open. In my opinion it makes it much more obvious why the settings are disabled -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

@shiftee not sure what your last change did looking at the image?

I've pushed a change which updates the frame-label instead of the tooltip. I'm not very experienced with Glade so it may not be done the best way.

Yeah, thats easier, but the tooltip doesn't show unless the user hovers for a period, so the insensitive is important too. > Another solution could be to show some sort of symbol, like warning sign or > the like, Trouble is no symbol is an obvious "this is overridden" especially that new users will understand automatically, and its new users who need the warning the most. Thats why setting insensitive is useful, it makes the user stop and think for a moment :) -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Re: [Github-comments] [geany/geany] Disable Prefs/Files/Saving-files if project open (#1750)
I like the approach to tell the user that some global settings will be overridden by projects to reduce confusion. When changing tooltips, it might be easier to change the original tooltips in the Glade file by simply appending a note like "this setting might be overridden by open projects" or something like this. I guess users know when they have a project opened. Another solution could be to show some sort of symbol, like warning sign or the like, next to those settings which can be overridden by projects in the preferences dialog. Those symbols could then have a generic tooltip. Changing tooltips of all settings which can be overridden is probably a tedious work and might make the code less readable for little effect. Just my 2cents. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread. Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/1750#issuecomment-362538574

Don't know either (other than brute force of changing all the tooltips to the same thing), lets see what the experts say. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
