Quick Link to relavant MCU "Dev" file

[steve42lawson]

Often, I need access to the Dev file for the Project MCU. For instance, a current project of mine, is based on the PIC24F08KL302 MCU. The Dev file, then, would be P24F08KL302.c

These files are contained in a directory at the end of a long, multi sub-directory path. And, once one navigates to that directory [the Dev directory], there is a daunting list to sift through. Even when it's alphabetized, it's still a chore to find the pertinent file.

Perhaps, a button, or link could be added, to, for instance, to the "Project Settings" sidebar, that would open the relevant Dev file, in a new Tab. That would be splendidly wonderful -- and, it seems, fairly easy to implement! The file selection process would be driven by the entry selected in the "Name" listbox.

Nice. But, who's gonna remember that? I mean, as far as I can see, there's no reference to that in any of the menus, or sidebars, or anywhere that I can find. A physical link, at a sensible place on the IDE GUI, like next to the "Name:" field in the Project Settings sidebar, would mitigate the need for a good memory.

Or, at least, include it in the View menu, along with Assembly and Listing. I reali8ze that isn't exactly taxonomical, but it's the closest I could come -- maybe in a new--what is that called? Sub-Menu Category? Like how Assembly/Listing and Statistics and Jump Menu are separated.

And, a new icon in the View toolbar, would also be nice.
