Hi Steve, all, I just verified that I was wrong. The technical part of the problem is actually solved. Some dialogs already have the Extended tips implemented. For example
Tools > Options > LibreOffice Calc > Calculate > Wildcards. (enable extended tips in Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General) But it seems to be an exception. I foresee a very extensive work ahead to populate the dialogs with the Extended tooltips (ET) of each dialog widget. The contents of each ET already exist in the <ahelp> tag of the corresponding Help page. I guess 60 to 80% of the ETs are there, but copying them to the dialog files will add translation workload, so it is better do it slowly. There is about 2253 dialogs (ui files) in LibreOffice and 2463 Help pages (xhp), so...
