GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 686903
No tooltip in the toolbar
Last modified: 2012-12-13 11:56:04 UTC
Nautilus 3.6.0 – 3.7.1 does not have tooltips for its toolbar. I.e., there should be popups for "Back (Alt-Left)," "Forward (Alt-Right)," "Search (Ctrl-F)," "List View," "Icon View," "View," and "Tools (F10)."
Thanks, I pushed a fix for this now. We already have translatable strings for all the buttons, except for the two menus; I split the fix into two commits so that the one adding tooltips for non-menu buttons can also backported to gnome-3-6 without breaking string freeze.
Created attachment 231402 [details] [review] Add tooltips for search, grid and list button Search, Grid and list were still missing tooltips. I think back and forward still need them but couldn't find the right wording for Forward to a previously visited folder vs also Backward to previously visited.
Review of attachment 231402 [details] [review]: Those specific tooltips seem to work fine already in git master and 3.6.3 for me. See [1] and [2]. The second commit is not in 3.6 since it added new strings too late.

Hmm, I'm using Nautilus master and don't see the tooltips for search,grid and list. The diff you linked shows + tool_button = toolbar_create_toolbutton (self, FALSE, TRUE, NAUTILUS_ACTION_SEARCH, NULL); + tool_button = toolbar_create_toolbutton (self, FALSE, TRUE, NAUTILUS_ACTION_VIEW_LIST, NULL); + tool_button = toolbar_create_toolbutton (self, FALSE, TRUE, NAUTILUS_ACTION_VIEW_GRID, NULL); All NULL for tooltips. My patch adds values for these, unless I'm missing something.
