Displaying Hints?
« on: February 16, 2017, 07:35 AM »
Hello,
  Is there a way to get the hints, or notes, to show up on mouse over of an item in a menu? I have a menu of powershell scripts that I have on my launch bar. If I move one of the command items to the launch bar itself, I will get the little hints popup. But when the items are in a menu, sub-menu, I get no hints.
I have the options checked off for the dock, i.e. "Hints on MouseOver"
Is there something that I am missing?

FYI, I love this launch bar. Its way better than anything else I have tried. I recommend it to everyone, along with FARR. The flexibility is second to none. I hope it continues to get developed.

Let me look into it -- I can't remember if I had a reason for not showing hints in submenus or if it's just a bug.

Glad you are liking the program!

I have sub menus that are 4 deep and they show hints.

I can confirm that there is no reason I can't show hints on mouseover for submenus. I have added a new option to say that you want to see mouseover hints in a specific submenu.  It will be in next release.

dluby you are already seeing mouseover hints on submenus? Can you post a screenshot?
