Display total elapsed time in file open details dialog

Currently we have to keep two copies of a "shapefile", one in a geodatabase for performant use in ArcGIS and a second as an extracted shapefile for use in Spotfire. I'd like Spotfire to be able to load shapefiles from a file geodatabase (not just ...
