Atollic debug view: Semaphores & Timers

How do I make the semaphores & timers visible in the atollic debug view?
To make queues visible I use

 vQueueAddToRegistry( xQueue, (signed char*)"misc Queue" );

cant find any info about semaphores or timers, any hints?

Sorry - Atollic produced that plug in themselves so I am not over familiar with it.  I would image Semaphores will appear in the queues window though - the official state viewer plug-in used to show both in the same window until very recent versions of FreeRTOS where changes were made to allow the state viewer to distinguish between the two (you can add semaphores to the queue registry just as you can queues).

Regards.

Thank you!
Added the semaphore using vQueueAddToRegistry and its shows in the semaphore view.
I’m using Atollic v4.0, Freertos v7.3
Cheers
