Truncated Tooltips
« on: 2010 April 02 09:26:01 »
I am currently taking advantage of the PI evaluation period to check out the software; I have noticed that many of the tootip pop-ups seem to be truncated (I don't see any way to insert a screenshot here to illustrate this), since the tooltips are the only program documentation this makes evaluation somewhat "interesting". The behaviour seems independent of the length og the tooltip (ie sometimes it might show 10 words or so of a short tooltip then just stops in the middle of a sentence, or it might show several paragraphs of a longer tooltip before stopping in the middle of a sentence).
Is there some setting I should change or is this a known problem?

PC is running XP SP3, 3GB RAM, GEForce 6200/512MB

Thanks
Derrick

Hi Derrick

This is a known problem and hope mr Juan will fix it in the upcoming ver 1.6

As for documentation Mr RBA has done a very good write up reference http://pixinsight.com/forum/index.php?topic=1780.0

Also you might find my video's a help if you are starting cold http://www.harrysastroshed.com/pixinsighthome.html

Also I have started My user guide http://www.harrysastroshed.com/pixuser/pixuserhome.html even though it will a week or two before that is really helpful , but its a start

Thanks Harry,
I was n't sure whether I had some setting wrong for the tooltips so I can now just put that to one side until the next release. I've downloaded your video tutorials - they are very helpful; I've also started working through RBA's guide.
