Goodies 17: Show field information for export dialog

We have some tooltips for the export dialog on macOS. When you have fields in the table on the left or right, you can move the mouse over the field, wait a second and the tooltip should appear. It shows you the type of field, so you know whether it's a global field, a container or a formula. This may be useful to select the right fields, if they are not named after a naming convention.


We show fields with their SQL data types:

  • varchar for text fields
  • decimal for numeric fields.
  • timestamp for time stamp fields.
  • date for date fields.
  • binary for container fields.
  • calculated for stored calculations
  • global for global fields.

You can enable this feature in preferences dialog or SyntaxColoring.SetExportTooltipsEnabled function.
