Have Both Separate File Globals Per Execution and Shared File Globals in the Same File

Status: New

Currently, you have to choose between these options on each file (and the only indication of the choice is in the sequence file properties dialog).  Both options can be quite useful in the Parallel and Batch Model (of course there isn't much of a difference in the Sequential Model).  Clunky workarounds also exist like using Shared File Globals and having arrays for anything per-execution or using Separate File Globals while putting anything shared in Station Globals or in LabVIEW Functional Globals, but I think native support for both in the same file would be much cleaner and easier.

This could be just having two "FileGlobals" categories in the Variables pane (I prefer this), or it could be a right-click option on each individual File Global.
