Activation of Compile menu also on iProject view when a source member is opened

Working with RDp 8.0 we noticed that editing a source member from the Remote Explorer view, the Compile menu becomes active on the menu title bar, while opening a source member from the iProject view, the menu is not active and the only way to call the compile is to select and right click the source, the choose Remote Action and then Compile.
It would be very useful to have the Compile menu directly on the menu bar also on iProject view: this feature would speed up the compile operation for developers.


Use Case:

This feature could be used to call the Push and Compile operation for sources stored in iProjects (local or on RTC repository)
