Improvement of info about path and view in finder via tabs

I requested a search functionality with filtering function months ago:
Please continue in the linked thread about search functionality. Not this one.

@Ingolf A tooltip for the document tabs wouldn't hurt. But like Boldline says, it might add visual noise.
Maybe a third alternative is a good option — just change the ⊗ button to a small document icon after >1 second hover, so the user knows that if it clicks the name it will open the Finder location.
Btw, Preview on the Mac does this: https://recordit.co/lBQp6P7zdo

@Subpath I posted a sortable HTML table in the thread @Ingolf mentioned:

It's hard to see the coherence of the argument, to say the least. Seriously, then ANY tooltip is visual noise, haha. If I hover over any toolbar from left to right I get all tooltips in the current version of VS with no delay. Quite a few in just a second or two. I haven't seen that problem mentioned before coincidentally I requested another tooltip.
You would only see the tooltip when hovering the mouse above the tabs. A 1 or 2 second delay before showing any tooltip was once a standard in many programs which I still think was the most logical solution for everyone. Immediate tooltips don't bother me personally, but a slight delay might then make superusers more comfortable.
I don't need tooltips every time I make the pointer hover over an icon. Immediate tooltips don't bother me, but then a little delay might make super users more comfortable. @VectorStyler I've seen several programs have tooltip delay as an option. That would be a key way to deal with this vexing problem.
Anyway, I use a program that does show the document path when hovering above tabs and I bloody love it. Mentioning the "View in Finder" shortcut would be sportsmanlike. Making it a RTFM benefit no so much.

https://vectorstyler.com/forum/post/7417That would also be awesome in the online documentation but as part of the software itself - available in a snap - would be double awesome.

@Ingolf There is a 'Tool Tip Delay' setting in Preferences > User Interface.

Haha of course there is - excellent. I see no issues at all introducing a tab tool tip.
