Irrelevant desktop tooltip of Processing 4.4.4 on Windows

Most relevant area for this enhancement?

Accessibility

Feature to enhance

Tooltip of application shortcut on desktop

Desired enhancement

When hovered on my desktop, shortcuts of Processing 4.4.4 display the tooltip "My Application Description" (likely a default value). I believe that this should be changed to something relevant to the application, such as "Processing, an open source project maintained by the Processing Foundation".

Although I am not sure if this feature enhancement should be categorized under "Accessibility", I did so because text within tooltips may be utilized by accessibility programs.

Potential benefits

A relevant tooltip can enhance accessibility for disabled users.

Possible drawbacks

None.

Hi @yangtze314, thank you for catching this and taking the time to report it!

The issue seems to come from this line in the installer configuration:

processing4/app/windows/Processing.wxs

Line 27 in 1ee243c

Description="My Application Description"

If you're curious about how this could be updated and would like to try making the change, I’d be happy to guide you through the steps. No pressure at all, just let me know!

Hello @SableRaf. Since I have not yet familiarized myself with the GitHub workflow, and also because I am currently occupied by an upcoming exam, I think I should leave this change for more experienced people. Nonetheless, thank you for your offer! 😊
