Rename "Show Case" to "Find Case"

Status: New

Since LabVIEW 2020 selecting "Show Case" from the right-click menu of a case or event structure will call a plugin that lists and allows you to filter/search the list of matching cases. That is great.

 

Figuring out that this is what you need to do to find one or multiple cases though is less intuitive. I would argue that most users would start by looking for a phrase like "Find Case", or "Find Case(s)". That is what a similar action is called when we e.g. right-click on a control and try to find its terminal, local(s) etc - we select "Find", then Terminal/Reference etc...

 

Sub-idea: Leaving the list of found matches open (if there are multiple) even though you select one of them could often be beneficial.There is a great plugin from wiebe@CARYA that lists event(s) associated with a given front panel item which does it that way. It makes it easier to go through all the found cases if needed, instead of having to redo the search. And of course it places itself in the Find submenu; making it a "Find Event" option(!).
