For instance: I use a system parameter to define a folder for a writer, in this case an Excel writer.

Problem: A writer set to $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA)${USERNAME} est.xls will find or create the appropriate folder. But right click on the feature type and select Inspect and the Data Inspector gets confused because it will look for D:FME_support${USERNAME} est.xls.

Idea: Either let FME Desktop resolve the system parameter before sending the path to the Data Inspector or make the Data Inspector able to resolve the parameter on its own.

Result: Much more easy to do a quick Inspect when using system parameters.
