It should be more obvious on how to edit a description

It's badly hidden under the 'tag'. This was not a smart decision on my part.

That's a little silly. :)

I would suggest just adding a "Description:" field under "View settings."

Or can this not be done because of book screenshots (I would completely understand).

The main reason I didn't do it is that it likes to link to the data but description fields are long and need to be truncated, etc. It's also one of the very first things I set up.

I'm not going to call this a bug, but it is something that probably should be fixed at some point.

What about changed the name to tag\description?

I guess the description is quite important so it should be displayed there, too.

Changed "Tag" into "Tag/Description" in the edit view page.

I like this patch... many users asked me personal why its impossible to change the description of a view

It would be even more logically to change it to description/tag, because the form has description over the other one.

The patch applies to DRUPAL-6--2 and DRUPAL-6--3, after the change above i RTBC it.

as requested

"Tag" -> "Description/Tag" instead of "Tag/Description"

Mh What about

t('Description') . '/' . t('Tag')

Then current translations of Tag can be used . Lets wait for a oppinion of merlinofchaos... If your code is fine, then this is RTBC.

thanks @dereine for the guidance. didn't know that the 't' holds certain meaning. learning noob here :)

This looks fine

Applied to 2.x and 3.x -- does not apply to 7.x-3.x so marking for porting.

Fixed

I may be blind but I cannot see tag or description in the edit View at all.

All I can find is Modify the display(s) of your view below or add new displays.

Where should I look to change the description and tag for a view?
