Lack of function “locate” in the view Design Explorer

Lack of function ?locate? in the view "Design Explorer".

In RPP you can put a filter in the Design Explorer.
But it is possible to create only one filter at a time with this view.
This is not very convenient.

If you use the synchronize function (double yellow arrow) you are limited if there are more than 5000 objects in your folder. If you remove this limit the search time is long (I use a I5 computer with 16 Go RAM not a bad one). But this ?synchronize function? is not a direct search of an object.
You have to search a design and after you need to open it to synchronize.

Why not a direct access as in RDz (?Remote Systems? view > MVS File) with a ?locate function?.
This would be very convenient.
