[nb winsys](031024), [jdk1.4.2_02] As defined in UI specification http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/ui/ws/ws_spec.html#3.3 [read-only] flag should be in tooltip not in the header as it is in currnet implementation ------ * Name - name of a default document window corresponds to a name of object it displays, e.g. "ColorPicker". Name of the document window doesn't contain other information than the name of the object to make the document header as short as possible. An exception to this rule is a modified status, which is currently displayed as an asterisk in the document header. * Description - description provides important information about the object displayed in the document window, or other useful info. An example is VCS status and read only attribute. Description is displayed in a tooltip over document header and in the status line when a document window gets selected. --------------
Planned for promo-D.
I have to pass to HIE for decision, because there is a tension between spec and previous impl. Spec says nothing about the full path of the document, which is shown in tooltip in several previous versions and now. So, how should tooltip exactly look like? Should it be multiline? I would like to see something like name pattern: "<VCS status> <read-only status> <other status> <path>" for the tooltip.
