Drive bar - Tool tips with drive description

In Directory Opus 12 it was possible to display the drive name in the drive bar in the Tool tips. How does this work in V13?

Add labels like so:

Go DRIVEBUTTONS=labels

For a novice like me, how to add a label? (cannot find any info I can follow in the manual) - a step by step guide would be great. Love to try the above. Thanks

It's not a label but the value labels. Goes into this toolbar button:

Docs: Go DRIVEBUTTONS

Tried the above from 'Customise Toolbar & Keys' - copied exactly as above. Did not work. For a newbie I really need clearer step by step advise how to proceed. Would like to try the above. Can you explain further please?

Best place to start:

Thanks for that. Will certainly try again. The first place I looked was the manual which for me was very hard to understand...sorry.

Have a look.

Excellent - thank you, did it!

The tooltip shown by toolbar drivebuttons is generated by Windows and can't be changed.

AFAIK Opus 12 was the same. Windows itself may have changed over the years.

(The similar tooltip for drives in This PC can be changed, via Settings > File Types. But that isn't what the toolbar buttons use, unfortunately.)

Lxp's suggestion to add labels to the drive buttons command will get you the labels on the buttons themselves, so they're always visible. (Won't affect the tooltips.)

It will a bit.

without labels:

2024-07-04 - 08.51.58

with labels:

2024-07-04 - 08.49.48 - This_PC____CTC____13.7.4.0____332948

Oh! That was news to me. :smiley:

lettersbeforelabels seems to have the same effect in addition to labels

Thank you for your help. It now works the way I wanted it to. Thank you very much.
