Hi all,

[Note: please do a reply to all, I've added Heiko so he also has your
feedback]

I would like to have your feedback to help a decision to have standard
tooltips for the dialog's control. Currently there is none.

Issue is:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104413

Discussion during ESC:
+ Tooltips (tdf#104413)
        + have ‘simple’ tooltips for all controls by default?
          Additionally to extended tt with help installed
        + pro: support for beginners, good ux, postive a11y side effect
        + con: huge overhead to enter good tips and to translate
             + terrible startup performance problems from XPATH nonsense (?)
             + Markus had a prototype to extract & mirror these tooltips
(Kendy)
                 + with plan to keep XHP as help files; consider it again.
        + should we add a tooltip on an individual item ?
             + good usability to have tooltips consistently everywhere
             + student hasn’t finished the help on this topic.
        + happy to add simple tooltips to .ui files (Sophie)
             + adding five word tooltips to everywhere is ok with
translators
             + there are 111k labels on widgets in .ui files (Michael)
    $ git ls-files | grep '\.ui' | xargs cat | grep label | grep -v
'gtk-' | nl
                 + 500k new words, 100 langs -> 50Mb of extra install
AI:     + come up with a clear proposal with input from l10n (Sophie, Heiko)
        + best to apply some common sense wrt. Every control
          having a tooltip (Cloph, Sophie)

Heiko as added a document with different proposal here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/18u_DcmjyIPS1HzxhLEMu_1teFL-1uGGs_Xjfpg1l4d4/edit?ts=5852ccdc

The proposal is not to put them everywhere, but when it helps the
understanding.
My opinion (but it's mine :) is that they are very helpful for users and
should be added when UX see them needed (and I trust them on that) even
if it gives us some work on translation and grow the files.

Let me know what you think about it :)
