Original description:

From discussion in #2229:

(Showing just the name as a tooltip does not really make sense imo, because
the name is already there and so the tooltip tells the user nothing new.)

Each page should have a tooltip that offers more useful information than
simply its name. For example, the Trash's tooltip could say how many items are
in the trash. Last Imported could list the time/date of the import and the
number of photos and videos in it.

I'm marking as an 0.9 enhancement, as I think this could be done pretty
easily. The work in #2229 put in the plumbing, we just need to create the text
for each page.

Sounds reasonable. Jim, you thought of this, so you can make it happen. :)

This is going to take more work than I first thought. The stumbling block here
is that most pages are not created until the user clicks on them. This means
that the PageStub (which acts as a placeholder in the sidebar until the user
clicks on it) now needs the intelligence to figure out what information needs
to be displayed in its tooltip, code that normally lives in the page itself.

Additionally, since the information can change at run-time, we need to create
a signal that the sidebar subscribes to to be notified when the tooltip has
changed.

None of this is impossible, but the work is larger than adding some formatted
strings. I'll keep poking at this, but I suspect this won't be ready in time
for feature freeze.

That would be fine – this was a last-minute feature idea anyway. Feel free
to remove the 0.9 tag from this ticket if and when you decide that this won't
make it.

This won't make it for 0.9. Potentially 0.10.
