 Please clarify this request. I do not understand it. ParaView 2 did not use Qt and had a very different concept of what we now call a plugin. Tooltips work fine in ParaView 3. Are you talking about the description in the status bar that would elaborate on highlighted menu items?

 In ParaView2, one could define the "help" tag in the XML file e.g.:
<LabeledToggle ... help="Divide the field by wall distance."/>

Then, when the user moved the mouse over the widget or its label, this help text was displayed in a small yellowish box at that position.

As far as I understood, in ParaView3.2.1 (with plugins), the xxx_Client.xml file does not offer this functionality anymore, I use almost empty files, e.g.:
<ParaViewFilters>
  <Category name="Univiz" menu_label="&Univiz">
    <Filter name="FlowTopo" />
  </Category>
  <Filter name="FlowTopo" />
</ParaViewFilters>

And setting the "help" tag in the xxx_Server.xml file does have no effect.

Consistently, in ParaView3.2.1 the help messages for existing filters (not only those I add) are not displayed anymore when I move the mouse over it, e.g. the Threshold filter.

 The ability to add description text to each parameter (widget) is already available in the server manager code through <Documentation> tags. See ParaView3/Servers/ServerManager/filters.xml for numerous examples.

The tooltips in the object inspector is not available. I am assuming that it will be straightforward to implement them as bug 0004130 is being implemented. If that is not the case, we may need to postpone this request.
