It would be nice if menu descriptions could also be mass edited like this. Thanks.

Menu item description is typically edited with a textarea. This would blow up the table height, especially for long menus.

How do you imagine this to look like?

And how many people do actually care about menu item description?

(If that gets implemented at all, it will be an optional submodule)

The description is not just for the admin UI, but also for tooltips on the menu, so it's pretty important.

You can put the description on a second line after each title, and that would make the table taller but not any more unwiedly. Though I understand if you think that's not an acceptable UI solution, but I just think it's a nice feature to have if possible.

Thanks for the great module.

I just want to add that having proper menu item description really helps making menu structure compact and still useful, and it improves SEO ratings.

Ok, I put it on the todo list!
It will be an optional submodule or something that is switched off by default.
(further replies increase the priority)

Check out the next dev snapshot.
It does still not have a settings page, I invented another solution instead :)

My menu requires a very long description. It seems the latest dev broke the page appearance with the following message:

mlid-29481 cannot be longer than 128 characters but is currently 131 characters long.

Installed back 2.0 apha1 fix the problem. I like this dev feature however.

Fixed in next dev snapshot.
The reason is the default #maxlength=128 for textfields.
I chose a textfield instead of a textarea, because Firefox does not correctly display one-row textareas. Later the textfield is turned into a textarea by javascript.
