Is there a hidden option to have the app not show these "helpful" tips?

We used to call them Tip of the Day. They were as annoying back then as they are now.
And CP may be complicit, as it's hosting at least one article that shows people exactly how to implement this.

It is not just you. I've been noticing this on everything from MS products to Adobe lately. Darned annoying "feature."

I'm working on a react project that has a component and related components named filter, filter group, etc. They need a complete overhaul and I was told to create a new set of components so that we can slowly implement the new one. Now I'm having the mental dilemma of figuring out what to name these new components. I flat out refuse "NewFilter" or "FilterNew" because you know it's going to have another iteration one day..."Filter2" seems blah. Does everyone else fret over naming things? What would you pick?

Ha ha...I was looking at thesaurus entries. I was almost considering "sieve" just to be fun.
|

Another choice is translate.google.com
Put the component name on the left and go through various languages on the right, you have
filter
in Lithuanian is filtras
in Igbo it's nyo
in Scots Gaelic it's criathradh
now you have the benefit of learning new languages while you program

Ha ha.. looks like "CharlesFilter" wins?
That site is pretty sweet. Might actually use it once I put together more options.

I am working on a image file viewer thingy using Windows Imaging Components. I was going to call it WinCodecBitmap, but after spinning the wheel I think I will call it Hanna.
Thanks

That's brilliant. I'm going to use these in our standups, 'cause our current order is by volunteer.

I put together the two suggestions (M-W thesaurus and wheel of names). I pasted the list of related words in wheel of names and a clairvoyant spin produced the right answer: WASH. Like in: if you don't know what to name it, it's a wash; any name is as good as the next.

Perfect task for Copilot.
I gave it the entire text of your original post and here is Copilot's response.
Copilot said: Ah, the eternal struggle of naming things in software development! It’s a challenge that many of us face, and it’s perfectly normal to fret over it. After all, a good name can make your code more readable and maintainable, while a poor one can lead to confusion and frustration.
Here are a few strategies you might consider when naming your new components:
Descriptive Names:
Aim for names that clearly convey the purpose or functionality of the component. For example:
FilterPanel: If your component handles filtering functionality.
FilterOptions: If it’s related to filter configuration.
FilterSelector: If it allows users to choose from different filters.
Think about what the component does and choose a name that reflects that.
Domain-Specific Terms:
Consider using terms from your project’s domain or industry. For instance:
TagCloud: If your component deals with tags.
SearchCriteria: If it represents search filters.
SortDropdown: If it handles sorting options.
Using domain-specific terms can make your code more intuitive for other developers.
Avoid Generic Names:
As you mentioned, names like “NewFilter” or “Filter2” aren’t very helpful. They lack specificity and might cause confusion down the road.
Instead, opt for more meaningful names that provide context.
Be Consistent:
If your existing components follow a certain naming convention (e.g., “FilterGroup”), try to maintain consistency.
Consistency makes it easier for developers to understand the relationships between components.
Avoid Abbreviations:
While abbreviations can save keystrokes, they often sacrifice clarity.
For example, prefer FilterConfiguration over FilterConfig.
Think About Future Iterations:
You’re right to consider future-proofing your names. Think about how the component might evolve.
Instead of “Filter2,” consider something like “AdvancedFilter” or “EnhancedFilter.”
Remember that there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, and different projects and teams have varying conventions. Ultimately, choose names that make sense in your specific context. And don’t worry—you’re not alone in this naming struggle! 😄

Yeah, I thought if there's no additional context beyond versioning a date works well (i.e. your `Filter2024` suggestion), as you shouldn't be refactoring multiple times per year, and keeping track of dates is easier than using any versioning system (e.g. if one component didn't get redefined when doing the v2 work, when you refactor again does that component jump straight to v3, or should it be the v2 of that component despite being v3 of the whole / etc).

FilterNew, Filter2, etc, as you put it, are bad options.
Try to add a bit of context to the name to differentiate it from other filters you may have elsewhere. What type of thing it's supposed to be filtering. If it's intended to filter items that all have the same interface (IBlob) or share a common base class (Blob), maybe BlobFilter. That sort of thing. Don't overthink it.

Looking for recommendations here...
I'm using Oracle Box VM. When I RDC into it, strange things happen.
First, Copy & Paste no longer works. Not Host to Remote, I'm talking about Copy & Paste INSIDE RDC. Select text, copy -> paste - Nothing.
It's also REALLY slow. I've tried various things like restarting rdpclip.exe. Still can't copy & paste.
If I work through the OracleBox window, everything is fine - except I can only use one monitor. Anyone know of a decent replacement that allows dual monitors?
NOTE: I don't want to TOGGLE between monitors, I want full use of both monitors.
Thanks
In theory, theory and practice are the same. But in practice, they never are.”
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.

I use RDC on a dual-monitor Windows 10 system (left monitor) to connect to a single-monitor Windows 7 system (right monitor). I can copy & paste between the two. Your experience is different, though, correct?

I just now tried that, too, and it works as expected. I was using a couple of Notepad windows.
