Just Perfect and Effective

Love this plugin. Super effective.
Simple plugin with some improvement needed with UI flow
By 
Quick an easy way to create a child theme. UI is simple and no frills. I attempted to copy a child theme without filling in the description and the plugin threw a warning message. Then I had to start all over having to filling all the boxes again. This part needs to improve. User should not be able to go pass creating the child theme if they are required to fill out certain boxes to avoid having to start all over again.
