Comment 1 for bug 1733930

There already is a viewer, you just have to open it by clicking on the
toolbar button that looks like a footprint with a magnifying glass. The
viewer is in a separate window which displays the footprint any time you
click on an entry in the footprint pane. If you are asking for a
separate pain in the view, then that is a different issue.
