number of library items not fully displayed -> show as tooltip

[ghost]

JabRef version

5.9 (latest release)

Operating system

Windows

Details on version and operating system

Windows 10 22H2

Checked with the latest development build

• I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
• I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

I have downloaded 2 databases in BibTeX format: one is an arcade game database (45974 items), the other a game console/computer database (134352)

Please look at screenshot. The number of items in the library is not fully displayed (see at the left). Only 4 digits are displayed, the rest in front of it is gone. Could it be fixed so I see the currect number of items? I know it are A LOT but it's possible to have such a big library :)

Attached are the 2 bib files

Fixed in 5.10 dev version

We resolved an issue that cut off the number of group entries when it exceeded four digits. #8797

Sorry!

Can I request a feature (that we can enable/disable in settings) so we can see the full number of items instead of abbreviated? There is space enough to display the extra digits.
It's now displayed as 46k in version 5.10

I think a tooltip would be a good idea

I think a tooltip would be a good idea

yes that's good too! Also for the number of entries in the groups.

Hello, I'm new to the open-source contributing community, Is this issue a good one for me to start working on?
Note: I'm still trying to understand the codebase.

[ThiloteE]

@DohaRamadan, yes it is. I will assign you to this issue and move it to reserved. Since I have seen you are interested in another issue also, just give a short notice, if you feel like you only want to continue to work on one of them, then I can unassign you and move the issue back to "free to take" in the projects pages.

As a general advice for newcomers: check out Contributing for a start. Also, guidelines for setting up a local workspace is worth having a look at.

Feel free to ask here at GitHub, if you have any issue related questions. If you have questions about how to setup your workspace use JabRef's Gitter chat. Try to open a (draft) pull-request early on, so that people can see you are working on the issue and so that they can see the direction the pull request is heading towards. This way, you will likely receive valuable feedback.

@DohaRamadan The code for displaying the number would need to be adjusted to additionally display the count as a tooltip:

jabref/src/main/java/org/jabref/gui/groups/GroupTreeView.java

Lines 276 to 290 in 908c389

	EasyBind.subscribe(preferencesService.getGroupsPreferences().displayGroupCountProperty(),
	shouldDisplayGroupCount -> {
	if (text.textProperty().isBound()) {
	text.textProperty().unbind();
	text.setText("");
	}
	node.getStyleClass().clear();
	if (shouldDisplayGroupCount) {
	node.getStyleClass().add("hits");
	text.textProperty().bind(group.getHits().map(Number::intValue).map(this::getFormattedNumber));
	}
	});
	text.getStyleClass().setAll("text");

Can this also be done for each group?

Thanks a lot for making my feature request!

@DohaRamadan I think this bug is easy to fix too.
