Not sure what was intended... |

Fixed in build 484. - hints are not dynamic, maybe a separate bug would be best for this - 2) the same as in hint could be shown also in the menu (Jump to: 'Beatles') - Properties action is used for more than just songs, could the hint be more general than 'Edit Track Info'? |

Tested in 1.484. A couple of minor fixes are needed: 1) Quality (In properties pane): Currently shows 'A value describing how user likes this song' instead of 'Describes the quality of the recording' 2) A bunch of fields in the Properties pane show 'Auto-Tag from Filename'! These include: Rating, all property tabs, all fields in the 'info', 'lyrics' and 'virtual cd' tab. 3) Tooltips still don't work for the context-menus. This is mainly an issue for: --Quicksearch --Change album artist I'll create a new (lower priority) bug to track the dynamic hints feature. edited on: 04-21 13:46 edited on: 04-21 13:51 |

Fixed in build 485. 1) As I wrote in the previous post - this item is used for all types of properties (artist, album, ...). Can the tooltip be modified to be more general? 2&3) Fixed, if you want to modify/add any hint there, just give me a list. 4) It will probably be necessary to show hints in the status bar, I will implement it. |

Verified items 1 and 2 in 1.485. Regarding item 3 (tooltips for context menus), this is not that serious, and so I'm reopening this as Priority low. Note also: Item 1) mentioned in Jiri's comment is not an issue, since the Properties hint has already been made more general to 'Show Properties'. |
