I've created this module that extends the functionality of features with a new tab where one can hide features that is not necessary to check every time (if the feature was overridden or not) one loads the features manage tab. This can speed up development cycle for all of us that is using features to grab configuration down in code.

This functionality can also serve a purpose to site/installations where the client by them self can extend their functionality with features. And for them to have to see all features in there with all those fieldsets is unnecessary and will most probably give them an information overload (if the number of features is large). And also their might be possibilities where one don't want to give users the possibilities to turn on and off every feature in there.

If you don't see this as a thing that should be in features core, I can gladly create a new module for it. But most benefit to everyone would be if we can add this to features. I hope you like it! For us at Wunderkraut is serves a purpose and speeds up our work radically, especially when sites grow out of proportions with functionality out of the roof.

Best regards // Tim

I have a new idea for this feature.. Instead of selecting individual features to hide, we could have a setting for each field group, if it is visible or not.
That way we can work on just a group or not and have it hidden temporarily to speed up development.

Will work on a patch asap. :)

Can't you already do this using packages? Put these features into an 'Ignore' package, then don't look at that tab.

ianmthomasuk is correct...just change the Package for the feature.
