I don’t think the complete tooltip with the detailed info still exists in the Qt6/KF6 version of Dolphin.
You do have the side information panel that shows the same information in a more fixed place.

This panel was broken and missing in 4:25.04.0-1 but it’s fixed in Dolphin 4:25.04.2-1 currently sitting in unstable.

There still exists a tooltip in a more simpler form that only shows the complete name of files with long names that are elided on the file grid view.

So closing this bug.


Happy hacking,
