The easiest way would be to have a global configuration option that disables all unit conversion tooltips. Not very complicated, but I am in the middle of changing the SMW datatype system (internally) for better RDF support. I could add a suitable option later (but in time for SMW 1.6). Could you file a feature request at Bugzilla so I do not forget this? Markus |
