make ade use the spectre data directory when plotting signals

existing behavior: after a simulation has finished, when plotting a signal (see the pic. below) ade uses its own, higher level data directory (hereinafter ADE_DD, e.g. …/maestro/results/maestro/Interactive.581/psf/tran/psf) for evaluation of assembler outputs.

desired behavior: after a simulation has finished, when plotting a signal ade uses the spectre data directory (hereinafter SPECTRE_DD, e.g. …/maestro/results/maestro/Interactive.581/1/tran/psf) for evaluation of assembler outputs.

question: How to turn existing behavior into desired one?

motivation: some of my maestro outputs depend on files located in SPECTRE_DD. ade produces an error when I plot the outputs because it uses ADE_DD.

other:

1) when spectre is called, it creates a SPECTRE_DD where simulation data is stored. An ADE_DD links to multiple SPECTRE_DDs.

2) there is a workaround to amend manually the field ‘In Context Results DB’ in calculator, enter a desired output name and evaluate it. This way it works as expected, but it is not as convenient as it would be if using the plot menu item.
