This is a followup bug report of bug 163992. Draw and Impress use the same strings for the short and extended tooltips for the open documents list in the navigator. (see comment https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163992#c21) Draw and Impress should use different strings for the short and extended tooltips so the tooltips are module specific. (see comment https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163992#c16 and https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163992#c23) Version: 24.8.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 48a6bac9e7e268aeb4c3483fcf825c94556d9f92 CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (10.0 build 22631); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL threaded
I want to confirm it, but first I want to change that code in my build, in order to prove myself that it is a common place for both.
New, based on previous comments from bug 163992.

What's wrong with "Lists currently open documents."? IOW, what justifies the effort to change this into "Lists currently open presentations." and "Lists currently open drawings."?

Draw and Impress use the same string. So why don't make the string for Draw and Impress also module specific? Why only for Calc and Writer? The list shows only the documents for the current module. If the tooltip shows "text documents, spreadsheets, presentations and drawings" the user get the advice, that only the documents of the current module are in the list.
(In reply to lol from comment #4) > So why don't make the string for Draw and Impress also module specific? Because it's effort? At least me I don't know how figure out what document type calls the ctor in sd/source/ui/dlg/navigatr.cxx in order to set mxLbDocs->set_tooltip_text() respectively. Perhaps in the HandleContextChange() method. > If the tooltip shows... As a compromise, do you think users understand better that documents are from the current module with "Lists currently open presentations or drawings."?

I've checked the list of the navigator in Draw and Impress. The list for the open documents in Impress and Draw shows drawing and presentations together as in opposite to Calc and Writer where only text documents or spreadsheets are shown. So you suggestion is correct. Then let's do it so.

(In reply to BogdanB from comment #8) > Does not seem easy. In sd/uiconfig/simpress/ui/navigatorpanel.ui for id="documents" change the value <property name="tooltip-text" from "Open Documents" to "Lists currently open presentations or drawings.".
