It would be a beautiful thing if I could select a container in the project explorer and right click to add / remove child etc etc. ( in fact the whole right click menu )
I am having to remove containers / grids to ‘get at them’

Agreed - it’s on the list of improvements we want to make.
Any updates on this feature ?

Not yet, but it’s not being ignored.
I’ve noticed the behaviour is still the same in Ver 7. Is this being corrected ?

Here are a couple of blog posts showing what we did:

The main issue still remains ( unless I’m missing something ).
In the attached project if I want to add something to the blue container I can select it but when I right click ( to add component) the main container is selected.
So the only way to add a component it to remove it from the main container - add component - put back into main container.
This is a very time consuming process.
Could a right click on the component in the project explore bring up the menu ?

You only included the .project file. Could you zip your entire folder?
