Display Names/Axes on Selection Only

The display of the axes/names of armatures should also have the possibility that they are only displayed when selected Since sometimes too much information of the visible bones in the viewport is displayed, the Option only selectiv would simplify the viewport and the overview in general.

yes please!

This would be really useful. In a complicated rig, the bone names display can becomes so dense it is unreadable (as shown). Selecting bones to see their name is a great idea especially when applying constraints or for quick visual identification of multiple rig elements.

Name of selected item is in the left top corner. But yes, it may be useful. But when?

* @ Vyacheslav * right, blender already gives a few possibilities in this case i will assign Bone-constraint and there it would be helpful if I could only see the names of the selected objects.

(the picker from the constrain menu unfortunately only finds the armature not the bone) and the statistic always shows the last selected object . and the same with axes, imagine when you want to Roll/align a bones

it would be clearer than all axes/names visible, maybe the axes would intersect,
