Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Using the Readme.md file, directory descriptions are already supported. If the list view displayed that directory's description, it would be great. such that, in order to verify a minor detail, we wouldn't need to access the directory.
Describe the solution you'd like
A setting that allows you to enable or hide the folder description in list view.
Describe alternatives you've considered
It would be good even if the description appeared as a tooltip when the user hovered over the directory name or symbol.
