Description
The "make scaled coverage graph" interface has several question mark (help) icons next to text entry boxes.
When I tried to click them to view help information, nothing happened. Hovering the mouse over them also did nothing. They do not seem to have any function.
If these question marks do nothing, they should be removed. Were these meant as a placeholders? If yes, that's fine, but leaving them without any function is not good - it undermines users' trust that the site is reliable and well-designed.
Sorry, I was wrong about their not doing anything. I just needed to hover the mouse over them a bit longer. When I did that, a tooltip appeared.
However, most of the tooltips are not very useful. They simply repeat the label, using slightly different wording.
The only tooltip that introduces new information is the tooltip for "Output file name". This tooltip tells the user about where the output file will be saved.
However, there is a problem with putting this information here. The tooltip pertains to the "Output file name" textbox, not the location of the file, which is not something the user can change, so far as I know.
I think this crucial information about where the results files and folders will be saved needs to be added to the interface, not hidden in a tooltip.
Therefore I think we should display this information in another part of the interface. I think it should be added to a new section below the "Run Analysis" button.
