I am using an External Format program to process CSV files that do not follow the 'typical' matrix format with first line header. My external tool processes the files together and converts them to a format that can be compared by BC, rather than showing the results in a separate window.
The external tool has a number of options (what to include, what to exclude, etc.) which would be useful for the user to access. There is no way for the user to access these options, so I have configured the tool to show the options if it is run with no command line arguments. This requires that the user know where the program is and that there is such a feature.
What I would like to request is an additional box and button on the File Formats popup (the one where you specify the tool command line arguments). The new box can be 'Tool configuration' and the button can be 'Configure Tool'. Pressing the Configure Tool would run the command line set up by the developer, allowing the user to configure settings within the tool.
The attached email shows what I mean.
