Keep selected components in BOM after closing the window bill of material

[sergiu.scutaru]

Will be nice if all selected components in BOM will remain selected if we close the window , in the following way is not necessary to search one more time components in hierarchy for hide/suppers or to do other things present in menu mouse right click  (see image 2). Perfect will be if following action can be done with window BOM open (see image proposal).

Like another solution can be  to add BOM like additional tab(see image below). In following tab we can see position number/ qty/part number..... . During selection from list components must be highlighted in 3D and with mouse right click we have menu like in image 2 from previous comment. The same menu can be in 2d, in the following way if I select position 12 is also highlighted in all views and, if necessary, with mouse right click I can do include in section, visibility, layer type and other things.

I work around this by using windows cut/screenshot tool. I use it for alot of stuff when cadding. 

For use with the bom as this idea, or when sketching using another part as a template. Just

placing the window with the cutted picture on my other screen.
