Description Andreas Sewe CLA 2014-01-07 05:09:14 EST 
Many features do not only have a name but also a description. This sometimes useful information is lost when installing a feature using the Marketplace Client (as compared to the "Install New Software" dialog.)

What about showing a feature's description (as a tooltip, for example) in the "Confirm selected features" dialog? There, it would be particularly useful for Marketplace entries that consist of multiple features. How else is the user supposed to decide which of the features to install (the name may not be enough)?

Andreas, I like the idea, but didn't manage to get around to it for our 1.4.0 release. But I'd definitely like to get this done for SR1.

Fair enough. Looking forward to it.
