Even if the Short Description made an appearance as an onHover thing, it would be good I think.
Minor bug, which probably won't matter in the "live" version of a module,but Arcane Backgrounds when closed have some text layering issues.

The only places I see Short Description appear is the Powers list from the Modules window of the SWADE player's reference and Fantasy Companion.
I'm looking into adding short desc to the other lists (skills, edges, ...) that are built when exporting a module.
I tried adding short desc to the normal lists that appear when clicking the right button bar, but I don't like how it lays out.
I'm thinking of adding a button to the various lists, where the group buttons appear, which will open an alternative list of powers, skills, edges, etc.
I'm open to feedback.
Here's what the short desc on the Skills list looks like, to show you what I mean.

I wondered why the Skills list has a filter by attribute section but no By Attribute button. So I added one. Given how simple a list Skills is, do you think this is useful?

The By Attribute button is awesome.
To be honest I wish the "database" had a more robust query system in general in FGU to let you make ad hoc searches that appear in a window.
An nice option would be for Racial Abilities - at the moment the only way to get the Positive, Negative and points is via XML.

More tweaks:
I added short description to the Skills by Attribute list.

I added short description to the Edges by Type list. The window opens wider now. Let me know if that's too wide. I can narrow that.

The Powers list shows a By Rank button to GMs but not to players. I can't think of a reason why players shouldn't have the By Rank button too. So I added that.
If anyone can think of why they shouldn't see that, please share.
