I would really like to see the project chooser include a project description. I don’t want to file a new feature request since this one already exists but I’d like to add my support for it.
Is there a way to elevate a feature request by voting for it?
The example projects included with Xojo would benefit from a simple description as the purpose of many of these projects are not obvious.
simple addition:
Add a field to display informations the developer can type about (what [s]he want)that project
complex version
Display data from the project:
Number of windows
Number of Class,
Number of Modules,
Number of File Type Set,
Number of dropped images,
etc.

Wes, you can add that case to your ‘My Top Cases’ to vote for it.
Also the example projects could include a Note in it to explain a little what the example is doing. I don’t understand what some examples do or if anything has to add/change to make them work.
Thanks for that info. I added “28787 - Add description field to Project Chooser” to “My Top Cases”.
That is exactly why I want this feature. The example projects need some sort of synopsis attached to them to indicate what they demonstrate specifically.
I really like the way Xojo lets you attach a “Note” to items within a project. I find that Notes are a great way to keep technical data and documentation relating to controls, classes etc. near the objects themselves.
Adding a little more meta-data about the entire project that displays in the project chooser would be a logical extension of this idea.
