Wrong tip text in dialog -Create a new PostGIS connection-

[qgib]

Author Name: Albert van de Maat (Albert van de Maat)
Original Redmine Issue: 12039
Affected QGIS version: 2.6.1

---

In the dialog 'Create a new PostGIS connection' there is a wrong tip text on the -Don't resolve type of unrestricted columns (GEOMETRY)- checkbox.
It shows a copy of the -Only show layers in the layer registries- checkbox.

in future it is helpfull if you provide the QGIS version that you find this issue.

as I see it now, this was 2.6 :-)
as there you see this, in current master (the dev version) there is NO tooltip on the Dont't.... line

not sure if we should close this one, or we should provide a better tooltip for the checkbox.

On second thought: for me it would be helpfull if the tooltip would tell me what Unrestriced columns (Geometry) means :-)
(it is not mentioned in the context help text, but... hopefully we will have this online in a later version)

It means geometry type columns that don't have a geometry type constraint - ie. can not only contain (multi)points, (multi)lines xor (multi)polygons, but any mix thereof.

What about making the (default OFF) checkbox caption:

[ ] Resolve type of unconstrained mixed GEOMETRY columns (slower)

with tooltip "QGIS can try to find GEOMETRY types in the data and show them"
