Hi,

Two related ideas for the Find Symbol dialog box:

Suggestion 1: Add filename column to the Find symbol dialog box, which now shows just Symbol and Definition.

Some of my projects have many IDL files, which when compiled, produce a lot of .h and .cpp files. When doing a find symbol command I rarely want to find a symbol in those generated files. Adding the filename would allow me to quickly disregard those results.

Suggestion 2: Click the column header and sort the result list, especially useful if there was a filename column.

I think both of these features would help VAX scale to very large workspaces and projects.

I've been begging for this for a very long time. I guess no one else has projects that are written using the same variable names. Good luck figuring out which one you want to open... I find it very hard to believe that this is a very difficult change to code or test.
