On the idea of the hover hints. I have been reviewing the dosbox config file, and it should be possible to take all the hints out of the config file. All the descriptions follow a specific algorithm. This would also mean that any language Dosbox Supports would be automatically supported by DBGL.
I would be happy to code specific parts of it. I don't think I could bring it all together though.
1. Algorithm to Pull out all the comments and place them with there appropriate categories.
2. Each option in the DBGL would need a peace of code to check if an option existed & then display it if it did.
3. Config files would need to be synced according to language selection. Right now if you change the language to something other than English, when you hit the "Edit Configuration file using external editor" the config file shows up as English. I can see the problem with switching the config file when the language changes. You loose the original Config. Could you think about this and get back to me with an optimal solution?
I will start working on it but need your help in getting it done. Will you help me?
