Description Ansgar Radermacher

It would be practical to show the qualified name of a selected element in form of a tooltip within the model-explorer. This is practical, since it's often not evident where a type of of an attribute for instance comes from.

This sounds like a good usability idea. Today (0.10.0)I see blank tooltips everywhere.

In 0.10.0, the tooltip is used to display validation messages (And is empty when there is no error)

We could add the qualified name on the first line.

There should never be an empty tooltip in my opinion. If there is no information then there should be no tooltip.

I agree that we should not show a tooltip with an empty message. This is fixed with commit 0f99d18c83809646f6eda93021859f5531910e80 for the 0.10-maintenance.


With respect to the actual bug: do you think that it should be made customizable, or would it be ok, if the qualifiedName is always shown in case of a named element?

If we move to EMF Facet 0.2 (Which is planed in a near future, most likely for Luna), we will have support for custom tooltips in the ModelExplorer configuration. Until then, you should just hard-code them.

This has been fixed with commit e52ee3ba9991f5ef0f0252b6a227c983d8f74f27 on the master.
