Description

I often need to know a mission from a bin. Right not it takes three steps:
- press button "create KML+gpx" (which also creates waypoint files)
- sort through multiple waypoint files to discard the junk partial ones via notepad (see https://github.com/ArduPilot/MissionPlanner/issues/1718)
- open the rest of them one by one and see if any of them look like they match a flown mission

It would be nice if the Flight Plan page had a "load bin file" button (or was combined in existing button) that would allow selecting which of the multiple missions I want to view. That is, I'd like to load a bin and then have it offer mission 1,2,3,4,5, and then I can select 4.

Research direction

Start at the Flight Plan page and trace the existing "create KML+gpx" flow that processes a .bin file. Done means a user can load one .bin file, choose among the missions it contains, and view the selected mission without manually sorting waypoint files.
