Hi
I find it very useful to be able to put extra icons on the toolbar by
putting entries to .desktop files in the toolbar section of geeqierc.xml.
But I tend to forget what my icons mean, so tooltips would also be useful.
I see in the Freedesktop.org standards that the Comment key of a desktop
file can be used for tooltips [but it also says that "The value should
not be redundant with the values of |Name| and |GenericName|.". Does
this mean that the Name key should be used for a tooltip unless there is
an entry in the Comment key?]
I have no idea about this kind of programming, but I have got something
to work by:
putting an extra field for tooltips in the _EditorDescription structure
in editors.h
gchar *tooltip;
putting an extra line in editors.c, at about line 266, to read in the
tooltip
editor->tooltip = g_key_file_get_string(key_file, DESKTOP_GROUP,
"Comment", NULL);
changing line 1681 of layout_util.c to load the tooltip.
GtkActionEntry entry = { editor->key, NULL, editor->name,
editor->hotkey, editor->tooltip, G_CALLBACK(layout_menu_edit_cb) };
Am I going in the right direction, or have I completely missed an
important aspect?
Thanks
Colin Clark...
