[Feature Suggestion] Balloon Description

JD · Post by JD » 2005 Aug 29, 13:55

It'll be great if we could see a pop-up balloon (or yellow sticky note) description when we hover our mouse cursor over a folder or file in Xplorer. This is possible in Windows Explorer but doesn't seem to be available in Xplorer.

I have drawn an illustration with Photoshop to help visualize my suggestion. Please take a look.

This is already possible in xolorer2. Look in the options under the "Window" tab. Make sure you have the "Info tips for items" checked.

Even with this option checked, I still see no info tips for folders, only on individual files.

i don't know how explorer does that so that's why it's left out
but you can set x2 to calculate folder sizes using the relevant advanced option (quite resource-intensive, has to be said)
