Vault status icon in Windows working folder

Vault status icon in Windows working folder

Hi,
It would be useful to have Vault status icons visible when browsing the windows working folder.
The Inventor Vault Browser is really useful to see file status for open files. It would be good to bring the same functionality to the file dialogue. I appreciate the folder can contain lots of files so its not practical to check them all at once, but it should be simple enough to show the status for the currently visible folder.
This would be super handy for going through the working folder to make sure everything has been checked in and it up to date in vault.

I just had 20 drawing to check in for the first time and Inventor crashed part way through. I had to open them all to be sure I hadn't missed any. It occurred to me how useful it would be to see the vault status for this and other situations.

Thank you for posting the idea. However, we have no plans to integrate Vault with Windows Explorer.

Forgive me, but what the point of an idea board if you are going to archive ideas you don't already have plans for?

I want to be clear this post wasn't operating system integration, but a feature in the Inventor file dialogue showing files in the working folder.
