FR: About/description column in package browser (show full text in hover tooltip), optionally include about in filter #75

Description

@ThoughtPhotography

With many thousands of available scripts (a great problem to have), it's increasingly different to know what they do, and find what you're searching for.

Having to right-click each one and select "About this package" to open a new window is quite cumbersome, especially to find out there's no description at all!

Adding a column that shows the About description would largely solve this. Users can resize it based on the amount of text they want to see, and hovering over the description could show the enter description for longer ones.

An option to include About this package descriptions in the search filter would allow more refined filtering and finding matches that the name alone would miss when the relevant information is buried in the description. :)

Many scripts also have ambiguous names and no description. Installing random scripts hoping to decipher what they do isn't everyone's idea of fun, so a setting to filter scripts with no about/description would reduce clutter, while also encouraging contributors to add at least a basic description.
