Improvement suggestion: Allow to generate/build sysconfig files only

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSCONFIG

Hi

I am missing an obvious feature in CCS,

Use case:

Very often when I have made changes to the sysconfig.syscfg file, I just want to run the generation of the sysconfig files, not building the whole project. fx. to see how a new define in board.h now looks like, So i can update my code accordingly.

Suggestion:

In CCS we alreade have the posibility to right click on a .c file and select "build Selected Files(s)", and it will trigger a build of just that file Well I also have that option when right clicking on the .syscfg file, just nothing happens when I select it.

So I suggest that selecting "build Selected Files(s)" on a .syscfg file triggers the sysconfig generation.

More specifically runs this step only

Building file: "../modtager.syscfg"
