How to embed waveform setup (.grf) in maestro views? (or: how to propagate .grf files along with their associated cells?)

Hi! is it possible to embed Viva setup information (.grf) in a maestro view, such that it can be version-controlled along with it, thus enabling consistent results display across users?

Or, more generally, how could .grf or .grf.group files be made part of a cell, such that they can be version-controlled and propagate along with it?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Regards, Jorge.

Note1: Our version-control software (Cliosoft SOS) doesn't support .grf files, so they cannot be checked in/out. It works fine without version-controlling by just putting these .grf files inside a folder under the cell directory: the library manager "sees/treats" it as just another cellview, and propagates it along with the other cellviews during e.g. copying/renaming operations; but SOS is unable to check in/out such a cellview.

Note2: I tried creating a Text cellview and overriding its contents with the .grf file; this does fool the version controlling, but has the problem that it can only support one .grf file per view (sometimes we have more) and it cannot support multi-window save waveform setups (i.e. .grf.group), which we use a lot. Also, the Viva file browser doesn't "see" files with extensions other that .grf, so one needs additional steps to actually have Viva load these Text cellviews' contents.
