Feedback Suggestion: Show Script/Object Descriptions in Resources Tree

[matharoo]

Not something I really need, but it would be kind of helpful. I'm fine if YYG doesn't want to consider this, I'm not expecting that - I just want to put this idea out there.

You know how we can add @descriptions to scripts and object events? I was thinking that it could be sort of helpful if we could show that description in the resource tree (for objects, the @description from the Create event could show up).



Or, to reduce the clutter, it could only draw on mouse hover.



So, just an idea. What are your thoughts on this?

Edit: I've submitted a feature request from the bug report page.

I don't think it's neccessary if you use sensible naming conventions

Totally.

I could see this as a useful little UI/UX thing, definitely. However, if this was to be implemented, I'd definitely want it to be an on/off toggle. In that case, maybe it could even have three different settings, like:

1: Off
2: On (Show in resource tree)
3: On (Show on mouse over)

Yeah, that would be great.

I'll submit a feature request on the bug report page.
