    Lets rearrange and add missed items to NinjaScript menu

    NinjaScript is one complete feature, but menu items to work with NinjaScript is placed in different locations.
    When I need to create new script or edit existing - I must go to Tools / New... or Edit...
    When I need to export or import script - I must go to the File / Utilities ....
    This is done in 3 (three!) clicks

    IMHO: It will be much more usable to combine all this to one item of main menu NinjaScript with next subitems:

    New Indicator
    New Startegy
    New Type (new item!!)
    ------------------------------
    Edit Indicator
    Edit Startegy
    Edit Type (new item!!)
    ------------------------------
    Import
    Export


    All items will be awailable in only one click!!!

    Also, there is NO menu items to create or edit 3-d type of *.cs files - Types (located in \NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\Type\). In order to edit them I at first must open this files in external editor, insert into its text some mistake, save it back, then compile any other existing indicator, and only after that compiler will get me an error (which I insert by myself) and after double click on this error I get an editor window with source code. Its realy amazing way ((((

    And one more suggestion: as I see, comlpiler is compiled ALL source files into one DLL (NinjaTrader.Custom.dll). That is why it will be very useful to add new menu item "Compile all". This will allow to use external editor to edit *.cs files and compile them with this item

    Is it possible to do? if in some reasons - no, may be you can add ability to directly invoke editor for Type *.cs files in neares releases?

    Thanks

    Hello zencoder,

    Thank you for your post.

    Editing the Type folder .cs files is not supported and developing outside of NinjaTrader is not supported as well.

    However, we are always looking to improve NinjaScript and NinjaTrader as a whole. I will forward these suggestions to our development team.

      Yes. It is not supported, but I describe correct way haw it can be done. The only thing is missing - is menu item "Edit Type" or simply directly in editor add to the right click menu item "Open file" wich will allow to open ANY other file on any path.

      Please reliase some kind of my suggestions, because debugin Type files - it is realy horror process (including restarting NinjaTrader)
