Make manage features page more descriptive when empty

Same problem. This already have a dupe.

same problem here. I needed to install features to use with feed news But???

This has been fixed in CVS, though it would probably be helpful if instead of showing a blank page with a "Save settings" button on it for the manage page, show instead something like "You have no features. Make a new one *here*".

You can use drush dl features-7.x-1.x-dev to get the dev snapshot.
I can confirm that the latest dev version will give you a proper admin/structure/features page.

Thanks for providing the drush command. Using that version fixes this problem for me as well.

Confused by not seeing any features, even though you have some installed? No need to subscribe or +1 an already fixed issue. Solution was already stated by zorp in #8:
drush dl features-7.x-1.x-dev

If features are found, then we see a nice table of disabled features. However, if you remove all features, features_admin_form() renders a white screen with a useless "save settings" button, and I think this needs a UI fix.

Example patch attached which drops out of the form builder (to prevents rendering 'save settings' button etc) if $features is an empty array; feedback on wording welcome.

I've kicked off with,

<h3>No Features were found.</h3>
<p>You can create Features using the "Create Feature" button, or by uploading Features to your site modules directory.</p>

I don't like the messy '<h3>'. t() .'</h3><p>'. t() in the previous patch. This makes it one block of t() instead.

I just downloaded the current -dev release and I'm still seeing an empty manage page.

The message is there in code so guessing this is some edge case; please open up a new bug report with steps to reproduce, etc. against 7x.-2.x-dev

/**
 * Form constructor for the features configuration form.
 */
function features_admin_form($form, $form_state) {
  // Load export functions to use in comparison.
  module_load_include('inc', 'features', 'features.export');

  // Clear & rebuild key caches
  features_get_info(NULL, NULL, TRUE);
  features_rebuild();

  $modules = array_filter(features_get_modules(), 'features_filter_hidden');
  $features = array_filter(features_get_features(), 'features_filter_hidden');
  $conflicts = features_get_conflicts();

  foreach ($modules as $key => $module) {
    if ($module->status && !empty($module->info['dependencies'])) {
      foreach ($module->info['dependencies'] as $dependent) {
        if (isset($features[$dependent])) {
          $features[$dependent]->dependents[$key] = $module->info['name'];
        }
      }
    }
  }

  if ( empty($features) ) {
    $form['no_features'] = array(
      '#markup' => t('No Features were found. Please use the !create_link link to create
      a new Feature module, or upload an existing Feature to your modules directory.',
      array('!create_link' => l(t('Create Feature'), 'admin/structure/features/create'))),
    );
    return $form ;
  }

Particular with the empty check fails.
