Howdy,

as you know, setting block visibility settings to "Show this block by default, but let individual users hide it." shows a fieldset ("Configure blocks" fieldset) in the user profile page, containing all the blocks that can be turned on/off by the user.

While core blocks have nice descriptions (ie: 'latest comments', or 'active forum posts'), view-generated blocks use the view's machine-readable name, that's pretty hard to understand for the user.

IMO it would be clearer to use the block title instead, as defined in the 'block' section in the settings of the view.

Below is the 1-line patch, great if someone can review it

This feature request becomes even more important in Views 2 for D6, as a view can have an arbitrary number of associated blocks. Seeing the view name repeat on the blocks configuration page makes it very hard to find the correct block. Unfortunately, the fix for D6 isn't nearly as simple as the patch attached to this thread.

The D6 version has a setting where you can just enter text to display in the block admin screen, so it isn't as big of a deal there.

Ah, I'd missed that. Thanks.
