Show the names of patterns in their tool tip

[michaelgregorius]

Adjust PatternView::update to show the name of the pattern as the tool tip (regardless of whether it is a beat and bassline or a melody pattern).

Override the public slot TrackContentObjectView::update for AutomationPatternView and BBTCOView. Implement it similar to PatternView::update.

@tresf, @Umcaruje This one implements the tool tip changes that we discussed in #3704.

@michaelgregorius How about previous tooltips? Do you think it is fine to remove them?

[michaelgregorius]

@PhysSong I think we can remove the previous tool tips. There seems to be some consensus that the help system should work differently anyway.

If some work is done on a new help system the texts can be added again. They seemed a bit strange anyway as most of them started with lower case letters.

@Umcaruje Can you please review?

The sample track already shows the file name in the tool tip if a sample was loaded. I now wonder whether it makes sense to also give it a text label which shows the filename as it is the only one that has none:

The downside would be that this label would be shown all the time as it is not possible to set a new name / label.

@michaelgregorius I agree with giving the sample track a text label to keep it consistent with the other tracks. If the user wants to remove it we have the " reset name " switch for this anyway. keeping the tooltip will do no harm in my humble opinion.

[tresf]

@mikobuntu I think his point was this "reset name" feature hasn't been implemented yet for SampleTrack, so it's all or nothing.

And rename, too.

[mikobuntu]

@tresf I see, in that case i think text labels should be implemented for the sample track. I say this because I've just noticed that the way it is now ( with only having a tooltip ) and having sample folders within sample folders on my box that the text string in the tooltip can be extremely long ( and confusing ) especially with some of my sample naming conventions.
And +1 for showing the name of the pattern in the tooltip ( per the original feature pull request ) instead of the 'hint' text.

How about showing the file name without path in the label and showing the full path in the tool tip?

👍

Showing the file name without path in the label has been pushed with commit 379e102:
