Comments in configuration files are approximately equivalent to those "tooltip" things GUIs sometimes have. I think comments are a much better method though since GUIs often seem to be missing their equivalent and even when present, it's a pain in the ass to use.
- Someone 15y agoI disagree. Comments in configuration files can serve (at least) two purposes: - to explain what a setting does. - to document why you chose a value for the setting. Tooltips can do the former, but not the latter.
- burgerbrain 15y agoYes, I am revering to point 2 of the GP.
