Description Nobody - feel free to take it CLA 2006-10-23 06:49:53 EDT 
Currently the content provider for the Modules view (ModuleContentProvider) is using the ICElement hierarchy to provide the content for the executable.
At the same time the Add Globals dialog is using the associated binary parser to retrieve global variables. These two features should use the same mechanism to avoid the situations when users see globals in the Modules view but can not add it to the Variables view.
Also, the action "Add to Variable view" should be contributed to the global objects in the Modules view.

I ran into this bug as well and want to add my vote for fixing this.  The problem I'm seeing is that I cannot add variables from shared libraries that have already been loaded using the "Global Variables" variables.
