Research direction

Start with the Segments pane and the Add Section dialog described in the issue, then compare the xrefs table styling. Address the listed segment warnings, section creation flow, dialog bounds, uncovered segment areas, and styling changes; account for the note that one warning may be obviated by #920.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Component: UI Effort: Low Impact: Low UI: Memory Map
  • Warn when adding a segment/section not backed by file (will be obviated by #920)

(suggestions from https://github.com/Vector35/binaryninja-api/issues/1698#issuecomment-1222580558)

  • Add a "Create Section" right-click menu option to the Segments pane that opens the Add Section dialog populated from the current segment
  • Pre-populate the Add Section dialog with the selected segment's bounds
  • Maybe a way to create a section for the parts of a segment that don't have a section defined on them
  • Match styling of xrefs table
