Thanks Jonah. Yes it can be controlled by preferences and startup options.

Cheers, Wim

I am for Option 1 too, but there needs to be a preference or something similar that can be used to disable it easily from a plugin_customization.ini. I fear having a dialog pop-up will affect GUI tests. I haven't followed all the details of previous discussions, perhaps this has been addressed already.

(I had a similar problem a while ago when PyDev introduced a pop-up dialog on startup and it broke every GUI test. Fortunately at the time there was a simple preference setting to add to add to a plugin_customization.ini and pass on the command line with -pluginCustomization)

Thanks for the tip of the day, I think it is a nice addition to the product and modernises it!

Option 1, we should promote it to our users and the user can easily adjust the setting

I am working on the tip startup options.

what shall we do as default behavior

1. Open the tip dialog on startup, user can control subsequent behavior

2. Do not open dialog. Show icon in bottom trim if there are new tips

3. Do not show anything at all. Tips only show on request from help menu
