The detailed description of a source member is not easily visible from the iProject view

The detailed description of a source member is not easily visible from the iProject view.
To view the description of a member loaded on an iProject, it is necessary to select the member, right click with the mouse, select Properties then choose i Member and then the Description field is visible.
The customer is asking if it is possible to add the description also to the properties visible on the Properties view.


Use Case:

Using RDp together with RTC, it is necessary to work on source members from the iProject view (instead of the RSE view). From the iProject view the "Show in Table" feature is not available, so it is not possible to view the description of sources (and when the number of members is huge, it is not possible to remember details about the contents only from the member's name).
To view the description it is necessary to select the member, right click, select properties, then point to iMember (too many click!).
A good improve could be to add this information on the properties view. Another improve could be to add the Show in table feature also to the iProject view.

    Working with RTC without members description, is like going back from Winxx to DOS on the PC
