Simple Suggestion with hints support

Post by AntonyD »

We know that there is a rather standard "Attribute" column. And it content is a simple LETTERS - which of course have some background.
but... it's not so obviously - as I couldn't simply find info about these letters. I mean - within the application itself - not just in the Net)))
Maybe it should be more correctly - to support this column with auto-tooltips? Which will show disclosed version of these attributes -
only in a form of a table? just like in your help section: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=10176#attrib

So if for example file/folder has an attribute "string" equal to "HSD" or "AC" - then in a tooltip your code will show:
  • H = Hidden
  • S = System
  • D = Directory
and for the next "string":
  • A = Archive
  • C = Compressed
This way, we can understand which attributes are being discussed in a particular file system object much more quickly.

There may also be "other variants" for columns that contain just letters/symbols, which actually hide more detailed descriptions.
In this case, the Suggestion logically covers these "other variants" as well.

I will consider a tooltip that shows the descriptive attribute names.

Thank you for the suggestion.
