#6963 closed enhancement (fixed)

display warnings in a less intrusive way than popups

Description

as a poweruser i tend to work rather quickly with keyboard-shortcuts and a graphic tablet. whenever i miss selecting a certain node with my pen, but then press a command shortly afterwards, i get a popup windows with a warning that a certain action can't be applied. this gets rather annoying after a certain time, since you know what the message says it says anyway, but you have to move the mouse/pen or hit the enter key to make it go away.

i would rather like to see warnings be displayed in an unintrusive overlay, which doesn't have to be clicked away manually, bud rather fades away automatically after 1 or 2 seconds.

real popup messages should only be used for real errors or where a certain user interaction is needed.

Agreed. If someone want to work on this they should check out FilterDialog.drawOSDText (activate some filter to see how it looks)

You are talking about info messages and no warnings.

real popup messages should only be used for real errors or where a certain user interaction is needed.

from duplicate #4553: mjulius:

A transitional message window that looks pretty much like a tooltip and shows up near the top or bottom of the screen would be perfect for these kind of warnings. It should have a little bigger font, come up without getting input focus, be transparent to mouse clicks, and disappear after, say, 5 sec.

Those messages that you have to click on or hit enter to make them go away can be annoying.

Are there still warnings to fix or can we close this ticket ?

  • With the latest stable build (6238) i still get a popup warning when selecting two ways and pressing alt+x on mac os x. "The selected Was is not a split way…"
  • Also when selecting one node and then selecting the "Symmetry" menu entry from the more tools menu, a popup warning shows up.

Also the maintainers of the most important plugins should be informed, so that they utilize the new feature for their warnings if possible.
