I'm a beginner inPython but found this Notepad++ plugin very usefull and really easy to learn.
I wrote several script and managed to add them in the toolbar, but cannot figure out how to add tooltips for those icons. Is there a way to achieve that ?
By the way, the only icons I managed to get displayed are BMP so no transparency :( Are there any spécification to get real ICO file to get displayed ?
Thanks in advance and, once again, thanks for that great plugin.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hi,
Glad you like the plugin. As for the tooltips, sadly not at the moment. This is a limitation in Notepad++, in that it takes the tooltip from the text of the "plugin command" - the toolbar icons that PythonScript adds are only "virtual" plugin commands, so don't have any text associated with them. If I get chance in the new year I'll propose a patch that would allow a plugin to set its own tooltip text.
The BMP limitation is also in Notepad++ - the image list it gets loaded into has very few options set, so you're stuck with limited options. That again needs to be changed in Notepad++ itself.
Cheers,
Dave.
