Description Andy Hertzfeld 2001-09-10 00:56:27 UTC
When you mouse over an emblem, a tooltip should be displayed containing the
corresponding keyword.  For some keywords, we might want to display additional
info, like a last backed up date, for example

Setting all bugs to P6 to start official bug-prioritization plan. Please don't
set the priority to anything other than P6 unless you've got the gold seal of
approval for doing so.

IMHO, the usability and usefulness of notes would be greatly improved
if the tooltip for the note emblem contained the note text (or at least
its first N characters for a suitable N).

I wish I could vote for bugs, so I could vote for this bug.
Comment 3 David Prieto 2007-06-01 16:36:25 UTC
Wow seven years old bug? Nothing done yet?

Is there any reason for nautilus not showing any tooltips?
Comment 4 Jakub 'Livio' Rusinek 2007-11-25 13:13:51 UTC
Some developers are not listeting to users' needs.
Like Compiz developers, Fedora art designers and as we see, Nautilus developers.
Congrats!

We are trying to patch this bug. It's a school project. But we have some difficulties to find the file dealing with showing icon.
Comment 6 Cosimo Cecchi 2011-04-06 18:16:21 UTC
User emblems have been removed from 3.0, so this ancient bug is OBSOLETE now.
