FG 2020.3 Tooltip Confusion

Postby mhab » Thu Dec 24, 2020 9:19 am

After upgrading to FG 2020.3 I am a bit confused about properties controlling Tooltips ...
Wiki does not help a lot, so maybe somebody can help and bring some clarification ...

As of FG 2020 There are 3 different props which are Tooltip related:

    1) /sim/mouse/tooltips-enabled
    2) /sim/mouse/click-shows-tooltip
    3) /sim/animation-tooltips (new in FG 2020)

Remarks:
1) and 2) can be set in dialog gui/dialogs/view.xml
3) is NOT initialized in defaults.xml and only a keyboard shortcut was added to toggle it
(which seems like a bit of improvised to me)

I tried to find out the effect of each of these 3 options but could not really understand what they are supposed to do ???
Is there a concept behind this ?

Thanks
