Edit probe names in Probe Watch Window

Status: New

I had several wires probed today and thought it would be handy to edit the probe names.  Especially the probe labeled "probe"... and rename it something meaningful.

Which could go right along with Add label to wires.

Good Idea.  But there is a way you could do this before it gets implemented.  Place a typecast function on the wire where probe 10 is.  Wire a constant of the same datatype to the top.  Show the label for that constant and give it a name.  Now create the probe after the typecast function.  The wire will have the same name as the constant.
