Add New... to the RCM in projects

OK, I've been working with some reformed txt programmers.  They like to decorate their vi names.  i.e "Funct-Do-Action-to-Gizsmo.vi"  I've just about convinced them that the fully qualified name of "Do-Action.vi on Giszmo" is better but, it is not quite what they are looking for.

 

My Ctrl+Shift+T keyboard shortcut Launches File>>New...  Because it is not available from the RCM when selecting a folder in a project.  So if I select Funct.vit templates, create the vi and save it as Do Action in Giszmo project.  The displayed FQM is "Funct Do Action on Giszmo"

 

Perfect decoration!- since Funct(X).vit and Funct(y).vit tell me what type of action I indend to do! 

 

Here's where the story turns sad.  When I select a folder in a project and "Ctrl-Shift+T" the new vi is added to the project at root- Not at the selected folder.

 

This one seems like a no-brainer!

I guess I didn't explain clearly.  Let me try again.


Since I keep my *.xxt files right here

So I can File>>New... like so

I would be able to add files easier to my projects if This

Capture2.PNGChanged to thisCapture3.PNG

 

The naming convention is another benefit but "New..". in the project would be awesome
