Custom tooltip/OnMouseOver ineffective in system tray popup window (Show when relevant)

[Sadi58]

I've just noticed this, although it's not a big problem.
I don't know if this is a result of how KDE Plasma panel/system tray behaves, of if this can be fixed in the plasmoid code.

wheel up and down are correctly recognized in my system, on mouse over instead does not work but I think I can fix or at least workaround this
the tooltip is instead the description field in the metadata.desktop file, so it will be harder to fix, but there's surely a way (night color widget for example has a custom tooltip, I'll try to understand how does it work)

thanks for the report!

It surely doesn't work here when the widget is not displayed in system tray, but only in system tray popup window.
They all work normally when the widget is displayed in system tray otherwise.

Wheel up and down scripts now work in my Debian Testing system, too.
So there's now only this minuscule problem of showing the description in the .desktop file instead of custom tooltip when the widget is passive, i.e. in systray popup window.

I think now perhaps plasmoids are expected to behave this way (at least when they are in passive state) on MouseOver: A popup notification is displayed with the "Name" entry in "metadata.desktop" file as title, and "Comment" as text...

sadly yes, I'm not aware of any way to change it except for actually modifying the desktop file. It would be cool to implement a way to add custom .desktop files with custom name and comment, all pointing to the same scriptinator installation, all automatically handled by the configuration GUI (so no need to modify the .desktop file manually). I don't know when I'll have time to do this, but It would be useful for sure

EDIT: perhaps with Plasma 6 things will change, who knows

For me, OnClick similarly does not work when the widget is in the system tray popup.
