Automatically Display Value in Tip Strip for String and Path Constants

[wevanarsdale]

I like to collapse long string and path constants to consolidate diagrams.  Showing the string or path value in the tip strip is useful but tedious to update.

I suggest an appearance property that would automatically display the current value in a tip strip for string and path constants.

This property would be most useful if the Block Diagram Options page was also modified to allow a global setting.

>Think twice before asking for features like that.

If this is implemented, please keep in mind that sometimes 2MB (or even 20 MB) binary files are put on the diagram as constants... Mostly for debugging, but it would be inconvenient to get a tip strip occluding my entire screen, and having to wait 2 minutes for it so show before it can be hidden. Like when selecting a .NET method if there are 200 of them, and that's on a click, not a hover!
