Visual interface - status bar and menu help text

[BobM]

A couple of issues with the interface (for v304):
1. Is it possible to enable the status bar showing page size, page layout etc like PDFX Viewer does?
2. Could the help "hover over" text that is displayed when using the mouse to select the main menu items be displayed after a delay of about 1 second? Currently, when an item (say Comments) is selected and the help text text allowed to appear, when the next item (say Form) is selected, the help text is shown immediately which obscures the content of the menu. (If the user doesn't wait for the initial help text to appear, the menu list is displayed without problem).

Edit: Looks like point 2 is moot as hover over help text does not appear in v305.

Hello BobM,

As you've noticed we released build 305 last night. Point 2) is indeed corrected and tooltips now show after a delay, and once a tooltip is shown for one tool - if you hover over the one next to it - the tooltip will change immediately.

The Page layout toolbar was a special one in the Viewer, and could not be e.g. placed on the same line as the properties toolbar. It is not present in the Editor, but you can create a new toolbar yourself (View -> Toolbars -> Customize toolbars...) and add all the desired tools to it.

Regards,
Stefan

Thanks but how do you display the dimensions of the current page?

Hi BobM,

Currently you can see those dimensions if you have the properties pane opened (by default it's on the right side), and click on a page's thumbnail in the thumbnails pane.

Best,
Stefan

It was better in PDFXViewer as you didn't have to (unnecessarily) open 2 additional dialogues, it was just shown.
