[Qgis-user] Map tips not showing

[Adam Nielsen]

Hi all,

I'm new to QGIS and I followed some instructions for importing
geotagged images and displaying them on the map.

Everything seems to work fine, except I don't see any popups when
hovering over the points.

I have enabled the "Show map tips" option but it makes no difference.

I think with this option enabled, I should get popups for other items
too (not just the geotagged image points) however I have never seen a
single map popup in the whole time I've been using QGIS.  If I add HTML
to other features I don't get any popups either.

I checked the manual[1] but can't seem to see anything I have missed.
I originally got a few errors at startup about missing packages, but I
installed those and I no longer get any errors at startup, but the map
tips still won't appear.

I'm running 3.30.0 with Qt 5.15.8, Python 3.10.10, and GDAL 3.6.3 under
Arch Linux.

Are there additional steps required beyond "Show map tips" in order to
get map tips showing?

Many thanks,
Adam.
