How to disable cursor tips in VSPro3 ?

Post by ciscokid »

Did you notice that when trying to grab a node on the audio line (especially near the end of the clip) the graphic tip that pops up saying "Delete the control by dragging outside the clip" ACTUALLY PREVENTS ONE FROM GRABBING THE DARN NODE TO DO ANYTHING WITH IT ! (Just shouting at my own computer here).

Is it my computer putting these annoying popup tips on the screen or is there a way in VS to turn them off.

Thanks for any advice.

I have to confess that I had never noticed that tool tip before!! :oops: I'm afraid I don't have X3 on any computer nowadays -- it was such a mess of a version! However, I have just checked on my X5 and sure enough the tool tip was there. But in this case at least, when I hover the mouse over one of the nodes and get the little icon in the shape of a hand with pointing finger, the tool tip is below and to the right of the hand, so nothing is obscured. I'm afraid I simply can't comment on where it might be in X3. And unfortunately, looking in Preferences, I can see nothing which relates to tool tips... :cry:

I have noticed this with VSx5, the sign covers the node and stops it being grabbed. I stretch the timeline to move the notice out of the way - but it is annoying.
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not so sure.

I wonder if it has something to do with the size and/or resolution of the monitor. As I say, in my case, the msg comes nowhere near the nodes...
