Description Nobody - feel free to take it CLA 2016-02-22 06:25:37 EST 
Since going into Advanced... settings into the capabilities preference page (General -> Capabilities) only turns the Capabilities list into a tree, I propose getting rid of the Advanced... dialog and button. 

To keep with the ALLOW_ADVANCED property API, I propose showing in the main preference page (not extra dialog) a list or tree depending on whether ALLOW_ADVANCED is false or true respectively.

+1 as long as the details can be displayed and selected.

This is how it would look like. If 'allowAdvanced' is enabled, you'll see the expanded tree which of course you can edit and see the description. If 'allowAdvanced' is not enabled you'll see it the old way. 

In this way we get rid of an extra dialog which does the same thing.

Sopot, do you think it deserves N&N entry?

I was asking Sopot the same via email, if we both thinks that I think it does.
