GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 108729
Need to add tooltip text to the radio buttons and check boxes in Scientific Mode
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
All of the gcalctool buttons have tooltip text, but the radio buttons and check buttons in Scientific Mode do not have tooltip text in gcalctool build 4.2.65. The following should also have tooltip text: - The four Numeric Base radio buttons (Bin, Oct, Dec, Hex) - The three Display Type radio buttons (Eng, Fix, Sci) - The three Trigonometric Type radio buttons (Degrees, Gradients, Radians) - The two Trigonometric Options check boxes (Hyp, Inv) Rich, you may have fixed this in the latest release, but I could not build the code that I checked out of CVS today -- failed with a fatal error ("cs.po:1220: `msgid' and `msgstr' entries do not both end with '/n'").
Adding Calum and Dennis to the CC. Calum mentioned he had this problem this morning, and "hacked" around it. Calum, what did you do? Dennis, could you try checking out latest CVS gcalctool, and see if it builds for you please. Sorry to pass the buck and run, but I'm not going to have time to look at this until next Monday, and hopefully somebody else will be able to help you in the meantime.

Breda, It's due to one of the recent translation check-ins. To work around it for now, you can remove "po" from the "SUBDIRS = " line in the top level Makefile.am file. Then, run autogen.sh again.
Created attachment 15111 [details] [review] Proposed patch.
Thanks Dennis. If you have the access, could you go ahead and check in your patch (I trust you by now ;-). Could you bump the micro version number in configure.in, and add entries in ChangeLog and NEWS too. You know, the usual. If you don't have access, can you just add a comment to this bug to that affect. Calum, if this happens can you ask Gman to apply the patch please? I'd do all this myself, but I'm still building stuff for CSUN, and I really need to get some sleep soon too. Thanks.
Thanks, Dennis -- it has built successfully now :) The original request for tooltip text for the radio buttons and check boxes still stands, Rich -- not yet implemented :)
The patch is applied in version 4.2.75. (I updated configure.in, ChangeLog, and NEWS accordingly.)
Breda, The patch that Dennis checked in (thanks!) should provide the tooltip help you requested. Could you please check out the latest gcalctool, and let us know if this is what you were looking for. Thanks.
Yes, the latest build has the tooltip text I requested, thanks.
