Under Bulk generate aliases for nodes that are not aliased is this text:

Generate aliases for all existing nodes which do not already have aliases. Note: Bulk Update may not complete on large or slow sites. See the README.txt for more information.

It would be helpful to just include the relevant information directly in the user interface. I have remote hosting and do not retain local copies of module code. I'll bet a large plurality if not the majority of Drupal users are in the same boat, so this would be a very helpful change.

To clarify, I mean to include the relevant information in the UI instead of requiring the user to refer to the readme.txt file.

Title: Please provide documentation inside interface » remove big warning about bulk updates and just leave it in README.txt for really curious people

That text was added back in the 1.2 branch which would try to update all nodes on a site so it was much more common then. Given the new scalable system for updates this is much less likely to happen and if it does then they already know what to do: reduce the number in the "General Settings: Maximum number of objects to alias in a bulk update:".

What do you think about just removing the whole "Note: Bulk Update may not complete..." part?
