Hello Paul,

small thing :
would it be possible to increase the time the tooltips are visible when hovering over a value and alike? Right now they are barely there for 3 seconds, I would prefer that they would just stay there, until the mouse is moved again... if that's not possible they should at least remain longer, maybe 10 -12 seconds

best

Hi Andreas. The C# .NET GUI is unfortunately very limited in the control you get over the tooltips for tree nodes, so it is not trivial to change the display time. It can be done, but involves changing the tree control in a way I would prefer not to do at this stage. Sorry.

OK, it is not that important. .. I thought it would be an easy fix like changing a parameter...

Never mind

You would think - but not for a tree control tooltip. They are hard-set to 5 seconds.

You could probably write a simple LUA script to dump the tooltips from each node type in Octane Standalone. Would be a 2min coding job for an LUA guru.
