Extension: Tip help should contain short description about extension purpose
Last modified: 2008-05-21 09:12:58 UTC
The tip help of a selected extension should contain a short description about the purpose of the extension. Where to add such a description also needs to get into the developers guide.
Created attachment 48969 [details] Describing tip help for a selected extension
Meant is one short sentence, not an about box entry.
What is when the extension does not define a tooltip text, shall then a default be displayed?
If the extension creator does not deliver a tip help, then it is better not to show a tip help at all for such an extension than to think about a default, which cannot be as helpful as a concret content.
JL->BH:Just to make sure, the tooltips displayed for the content of an extension and seperately installed xcu, dlls, jars,rdbs shall be removed?
Yes, I think we can remove their tip help.

Retargeted.
Back to the owner of this issue.
The tooltip which exists for the Extension Manager's GUI prio 3.0 will be displayed directly in the new GUI. What might be changed is that we append the word extension at the end of the text. So there is not tooltip in 3.0. We will still be able to install dlls, type libraries etc. separatly. Then there will be no description, because this is a feature for extension only. But it will probably displayed something like "type library" etc. instead of "Extension". Unless we want to remove these appended strings in the description, I will close this issue as invalid. Bettina, what do you think?
New GUI will be integrated for 3.0.
