Description Peter Pis 2008-12-10 09:47:38 UTC 
"Display As" for multiple elements of arrays is annoying.

Possible solution:
we have to improve it so that there can be e.g. some default for all values.
Comment 1 Peter Pis 2008-12-10 09:49:22 UTC 
This issue also covers the ability of displaying String as hex, binary and octal.
Comment 2 ulfzibis 2008-12-10 16:28:43 UTC 
Currently "Display As" is offered to single elements of arrays.
I propose to simply offer "Display As" also in context menu of arrays root node.
Comment 3 ulfzibis 2008-12-10 17:49:47 UTC 
Can't this simple enhancement provided as update for NB 6.5 ?
