How to see short Description of a Plugin

To get a short one or a few lines description of a plugin, mouse over that plugin in the Resources window and a popup appears. You can disable the popup by right-clicking and choosing Info Off (shortcut "i"). And again enable it with Info On. Some of the plugins may not have any description included. An example screenshot is next (figure 10.7).
