Easier to analyze items that are not sequence files

Status: New

Imagine the scenario where you have some custom types files and you want to validate those types are in good shape.  So you want to run the TestStand "Sequence" Analyzer utlity on them.

To do this, I need to create an arbitrary analyzer project, make sure it is configured to analyze the type palettes, and then run that analyzer project. 

 

If I were doing a 1-off sequence file, I can just open the sequence file and click the Start Analysis button (don't need to create an analyzer project if I just want to accept all the normal defaults).  However, if I open the types palette I can't select the types file I am interested in and just hit the Start Analysis button (it's disabled). 

 

I'd love to be able to have the "start Analysis" button enabled and work if I am in the types palette, and have it just analyze the types file I have selected.  Or analyze StationGlobals if I am in the station globals window.  Or users configuration if I am in the user manager.
