More options for the "right-click...replace" menu.

[altenbach]

The "right-click...replace" option has few choices, typically the home palette of the current selection if available and "All Palettes".

Quite often, I need the entry "Select a VI...", all down at the bottom after selecting "All Palettes".

Suggestion 1: Add "Select a VI..." to the first menu, see image.

Especially when benchmarking or trying different algoritms, I often like to replace the current VI with another VI that is already in memory. 

Suggestion 2: Also add a "VIs in memory", which would allow picking from list of all VIs in memory (except things located in VI.lib or in the standard palettes).

Here's an image how it could look like:

Great idea, Christian.  I've posted a related on, here:

Replace/Insert/etc context menu should show palette for wire element type as well as Array Palette

Add select from the "Project" to your list.

I want to add that "Select a VI.." should default the browse directory to the directory of the replaced VI (or containing project). This only needs to be changed for the replacement version.

Right now if I "Replace","All Pallettes","Select a VI..." it defaults to the last VI browsed to. Murphy's Law states that this is always the last project I was working on.

Anyway, great idea. Kudos
