Not mentioning the target at all is probably the best solution in most cases. I am open for other suggestions but I think that using "layer / channel" is more confusing than helpful. > We should try to find a consistent style for the > descriptions.

One that goes across, say, half of your screen? The length of the blurb will become less of a problem if we also allow to have it displayed as a tooltip. > I'd like to finish off bug #130123 first (get it to a state where > I know the patch is acceptable and it's just waiting to be > committed), then I will be happy to work on this. I hope that Mitch and you can sort out the issues with this patch. I know that Mitch and me agree that it is a good idea in general. So we definitely want to have your feature in 2.4, it's just a matter of solving the remaining issues with the patch. However I would love if work on the blurbs and action tooltips could start as soon as possible. So if there are any other volunteers, please don't be afraid to speak up. I am sure that we can arrange things to that multiple people can work on this.
