When I hover my mouse over the green checkmark in the status bar at the bottom, I get something like "Last block was generated 31 seconds ago". However, that value is frozen until the next block is received. I'd expect it to change every second.
This is on current master.
Yeah I think the most sensible solution would be to generate the message when the tooltip is requested, not when a block comes in (not enough), or every second (overkill).
What about tooltip requested AND when a block comes in? Both is a rare event, but combined it would be powerful enough: You can request an update by re-hovering and you can also just watch the blocks flow in by continuing to hover.
No, you can't do the second. Qt never updates tooltips that are open whatever you do. You need to re-hover to request an update.
@laanwj In this case, I would avoid using timespans with second precision. Use the term "less than a minute ago", that's accurate enough. And you don't expect it to increment under your eye.
Agreed, it doesn't really need to be that precise at all. I prefer that solution to franctically updating on a timer. There's the debug window for "real time" precise stats.
@laanwj I prefer that solution to franctically updating on a timer.
I dunno what franctically means, sorry ;). Are you fine with a pull that removes cached values from ClientModel::updateTimer() so that statusbar and so on get's updated via an interval?
No, please only update if something is changed, like now.
Well then this and my other problem are not solvable via timer and as I said I don't understand what you consider a solution for this cases then.
