Toolbar Action Icon Attributes

When you edit the attributes of a action/toolbar association in the Action Manager, you can supply a tooltip and text to be used when the toolbar is displaying text labels.

The Configure icons button (gear) will display the same panel displayed via Settings - File List - Toolbar Action Icons panel. On this panel you can modify any of the ten toolbar action icons. Note that if you apply changes on the icon panel, cancelling the attribute panel will not revert the icon changes.

Toolbar text for the action is determined by the following modes:

Default
If the action contains a Tooltip statement, it will be used to determine the tooltip text. If not, the text will be Run action #.

Action name
The text will be the name of the action.

Specified
You Supply the text which will be displayed.

You can also specify the text to be displayed for the action when the toolbar is configured to display text.

Prior to Yate v8.0, you could explicitly specify a portion of the action name to be used as the display text by enclosing the desired text in square brackets. eg. Rename and [Move] files. While this will still work, the method is now deprecated. Setting the text in this panel is preferable as the action's name need not be modified. Changing the name of a resource action can mess up the action updater.

If no text is available Run Action n will be used.
