Allow selection of remote objects to be loaded to an i Project

The remote search view results should in compressed view should allow a developer to select all results to be copied to an i Project.


Use Case:

Since the remote search does not allow for the use of regular expressions I must create a broad search using the remote search then open all so I can get remote copies. After doing this (and RDP not crashing for having too many open handles) I use the file search over a predefined workspace location reference and I can now use regular expressions.

    Thank you for taking the time to submit your request. After careful consideration, we know that we cannot deliver your requested enhancement soon, so it is being declined. However, your request does align with the future strategy of our product and we believe it may have future value, so we will add it to an internal list for us to keep in mind for the future.

    This RFE has been re-evaluated.  Due to the relatively low number of votes, this RFE is now being declined.

    OK i must admit i did not see the add to i project on the right-click menu because i was not collapsing the search results, because it can be many entries and gets tiresome to do.

    So instead add a collapse all / Expand all option to the remote search view.

    Alternative option is to allow for caching remote search results to allow for further searching. Either way, searching over a workspace folder offers far advanced capabilities.
