There are no instructions on the project page and no README file in the module. How to get started?

Install it. That's about it :)

New tabs appear in various places.

But yeah, a README would be a good idea. I'll write something in the next few days.

Thanks in advance. I don't know what URLs to visit for an admin interface. I don't see any new tabs.

Without instructions on use, there is no way to know if a module is working as expected, or if there may be some incompatibility with other modules, or a permission that needs to be enabled, etc.

I installed this module in two different sites, and cleared the cache in both sites. In both sites, I see the same output at admin/reports/fields as I do at admin/reports/fields/tools -- which means the tools page is not working.

Please consider being more explicit in your README. You say...

These are added as extra tabs to all
+ entity bundle admin pages

At what URLs? What do the tabs say? The only way for a user to know if a module works is to tell them exactly what they should be seeing if the module works.

I see no new tabs at admin/structure/types/manage/article/fields

What version of features does this module require? In one of the two aforementioned sites, I am running features 7.x-2.0-rc3. In the other site, I'm running a dev version of the 1.x branch, but not the latest dev.

Thank you

This module has nothing to do with Features.

If you've enabled it properly, the new pages should be working. Try clearing your caches again?

My bad. Yesterday I had your field_tools module mixed up with ftools. Now that I've enabled your module and cleared the cache, I do see your interface at admin/reports/fields/tools and I see the Clone Fields tabs.

Thanks
