           Summary: preview image in tooltip for layers dialog
           Product: koffice
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: koffice kde org
        ReportedBy: horkana maths tcd ie


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

In the Layers palette on mouse-over I would like to have a preview image of the \
current layer/object in a tooltip.  

Jasc Webdraw included similar functionality and provided an image in a tooltip to \
preview any item (groups, objects, etc) in the document treeview.   The Konqueror \
file managers also included a preview image in tooltip functionality.  

Having seen this in Jasc Webdraw I was hoping this feature might be added to Karbon \
but it could also work for Krita and Kivio both of which have a layer palette (and \
possibly even in the Kpresenter document outline).   A preview in a tooltip could be \
used as well as or insted of a Photoshop style thumbnail preview directly in the \
layers dialog and with a tooltip preview you have the advantage being able to provide \
a bigger preview than you would if it were embedded directly in the Layers pallete.  

I hope this is something which could be considered if the Layers dialog is being \
redesigned. ____________________________________
