Please identify the selected Components in dialogs

There are lots and lots of dialogs in which you must select Components. But the dialog only indicates the NUMBER of selected components, it does not identify, by Name, which Components have been selected.

It should be quite easy to show the name, instead of just the count of how many were selected, in fields where only one object can actually be selected. In fields where multiple objects can be selected it makes (some) sense to say how many are selected, but PLEASE provide a means by which the names of ALL of the selected objects can be listed and seen. Maybe a down-arrow to the right of the count field which would then pop up a list of the objects' names. In fact, in such a list it would also be helpful to be able to DE-select individual objects.

While this would definitely be helpful in the initial dialogs, like the one above, it would be even more helpful when you go back to EDIT an existing operation, refreshing your memory as to what it was you were working on.

I often give meaningful names to the multitude of objects that I work with, but even with out that, even when all it will show is something like "Component27", it would be really helpful if these numerous dialogs actually showed the names of the objects in the dialogs and not simply a count of how many have been selected.

IN ADDITION : BETTER FIELD LABELS, PLEASE

Please use better, more informative, labels on the fields in the dialogs. In the Joint dialog, above, you select "Component1" and "Component2". But the first component that you select is the one that will be MOVED and the second component is the one that is the target DESTINATION of where the first component will be moved TO. It would be so much better if the dialog used labels that better identified what the fields actually are. That first label should be something like "Component to Move" and the second one "Destination Component".
