Choosing a parent element not convenient

[Glenn Walker]

I work with a repository that has hundreds of classes. We even keep documentation for a couple versions of objects. We use folders to separate everything out.

My problem, I am creating new classes and I want to set the element parent without having to drag the parent class onto the diagram. I use the Advanced Settings | Element Parent dialog and press the Choose button. What I get is a pretty flat list. If I have a base object class in several places (version 1, 2, 3) and I want to use a particular version, I have a hard time figuring out which is which.

Could the set element classifier show the full package hierarchy rather than just the package a class is located in. My problem is that I have a folder named Base in all of the versions of my enterprise libraries. So, seeing the containing package name tells me next to nothing. Either displaying this as a treeview or with the full pathname to the pakcage would be extremely helpful.
