[SE] Scanner Shows Printability

Description
This mod requires StarExtensions![github.com]

Have you ever pulled out your Matter Manipulator's scan mode and scanned a few objects, hoping that they're printable, only to run all the way back home, boot up your Pixel Printer, and realize... you just wasted your time. That cool object you scanned is not printable, and you had no way of knowing until you ran home.

This mod allows your scanner to show if an object is scannable! Simply hold out your scanner and put your cursor over an object, and it'll say "Printable" or "Unprintable"!

Pairs nicely with Lagless Pixel Printer, the only actual lag-removing printer mod!

Q & A
Q: Mod doesn't work! I do not have StarExtensions[github.com] installed.
A: You must have StarExtensions[github.com] for this mod to work. Install StarExtensions[github.com].

Q: Clientside?
A: Yes! Installing this mod on a server does not work; individual players must have it.

Q: Grrr, I hate this mod, yet I am being forced to use it for a multiplayer server. Oughe...
A: Hold SHIFT to prevent the 'printable' and 'unprintable' labels from showing when you have your scanner out. You can also simply uninstall the mod because it is clientside.

@MithranArkanere you can hold shift to hide the text. I might work on this mod again if OpenStarbound adds the required functionality for this mod to work. Or I might randomly decide to work on it anyway
I think I planned to make a version of this mod that would show if an object is craftable instead of printable, then have it show both if you use both mods
Showing it when you actually scan an item might be nice. I don't think I'll add anything for if an object was already scanned or not since the highlight color already changes

The tooltip text can be a bit intrussive.
Would it be possible to make it so it only appears if you click an item?
Or maybe replace the tooltip with changing to a different mouse pointer depending on whether an item is already scanned and whether it can be crafted?

@Kinsect no, not until we get some version of interface.setCursorText, unfortunately

does this work with OpenStarbound?

Because StarExtensions doesn't have a Linux version and because oSB is MOSTLY implemented with StarExtensions - I gotta ask if this will work in oSB too.
