Dear Dreamer, sorry if I became confused. The topic title is "Tootip ini option issue" but the content of the thread is regarding file name captions of long file names. You also use the term "tooltip" repeatedly in the thread although you mean file name caption (or whatever it is supposed to be call...

Cannot confirm see here for details Can confirm, file name caption is not aware of screen/display boundaries. When file names are so long that at the end of the name <...> are shown and the mouse cursor is hovering over the name AND FC is moved past the borders of the screen/display/monitor the fil...

Dear Dreamer, If I understand the concept of configuration files correctly, then it should not make a difference where options are located as long as they are in the appropriate section. But because you asked, I did as you requested. I repeated the steps for the test as described in my previous post...

Dear Dreamer, sorry if I didn't get it right. Here is another try: FC is not running I entered >ShowTruncatedCaptionHint=0< into my FreeCommander.ini started FC the GUI tooltip option was already disabled No tooltips are displayed at all closed FC I changed the value in the .ini file to >ShowTruncat...

Thanks Dreamer,

tried it, no change, removed it from my .ini file

Select a number of files and folders in a root folder (number of files and folders doesn't make a difference, also it doesn't make a difference if the folders contain subfolders) select a preset (Profile:) select >With subfolders< select >Only files< click on >Rename< click on >Reload< repeat steps ...

Hey dsperber, I noticed that the options "RightTreeSize" and "LeftTreeSize" are also contained in the "FreeCommander.lay.ini". I of course don't know which ini has priority over the other, check it to see if Right- and LeftTreeSize are equal. Also, what did you actually do to "wipe out everything"? ...

Hey Dreamer, in which section did you find the option "ShowTruncatedCaptionHint=0"?

I would like to add it to my ini (=1) to see if it resolves the issue with the tooltips.

Thanks in advance

Dear Dreamer, thanks for posting the last screen shot. In my previous testing I overlooked the notice "in lower right corner of the screen (display)". Now I can confirm your issue . In Windows explorer the tooltip is moved left to be able to be completely shown, in FC the tooltip is NOT moved left a...

... drag and drop files into HashMyFiles with Ctrl button.... BINGO! Thanks for your expert advice, I appreciate you taking the time to reply. Also check that both FreeCommander XE and HashMyFiles were 64-bit in your case. I always install 64 bit versions if available. Thanks again. Best regards

Hey Dreamer,

have you tried deleting that option and then checking if your issue with tooltips is resolved?

I use HashMyFiles from NirSoft to check hashes of downloaded files. While using FC I cannot drag and drop files into HashMyFiles. When I drag a file from FC panel to HashMyFiles UI, the little arrow show next to mouse pointer but after releasing, nothing happens. Works fine from Windows explorer. Al...

I confirm the missing three dots on long file and folder names. on a side note: I noticed Windows Explorer shows a maximum of four lines before the three dots are shown, in FC there is only a maximum of two lines for file and folder names in thumbnail view. FreeCommander XE 2019 Build 822 64-bit don...

I have followed your instructions explicitly and cannot confirm.

Best Regards

... disable the option in Settings > View > File/folder list > General > Show files and folders tooltip. Then test with long names in small FC window in bottom-right corner, or move the splitter right, so the file name is not fully visible. Dear Dreamer, I followed your instructions and the behavio...
