Description David Richards 2006-02-03 19:00:59 UTC
The mouse-over tooltips for appointments is a big hit.  It would be nice to be
able to do the same thing with Tasks.  They appear to the right of the calendar
and usually they are very obscured.  It would display a full description, who
sent it to you (for assigned task), start date/time and end date/time.

confirming.
Comment 2 Matthew Barnes 2008-03-11 00:29:25 UTC
Bumping version to a stable release.
Comment 3 Matthew Barnes 2008-06-26 14:41:36 UTC
+1 -- Very good idea.

Although, I'm not sure what level of tooltip support ETable offers.  It's a shame we can't take advantage of GTK's new tooltip support for GtkTreeView.  It's very nice.  I've used it in other projects.

Here we go. I realized the function e_table_get_cell_at doesn't work for me in this case, thus I added new one. Feel free to request rename it, I'm fine with that. The appearance of tooltip itself, hm, it's a bit different of the one over events in calendar, but I tried to be as much closer as possible (maybe it's possible even more, I only do not know of it). This is really only for tasks, not for memos. There's not much to show anyway.

With respect to showing description, it shows up to 1KB of text, not more.

Errr, reopening, because it doesn't respect sorting.
