PyCharm runs nosetests on directories, but not on files

Question

I have PyCharm and I am trying to launch nosetests on a file. I already set the default test runner as nose. If I right click on a directory, I get a context menu entry "Run 'Nosetests in tests'". Invoking it works well and runs all the tests in the directory. However, if I right click on a file, it tries to run the file as a python program. The file is called test_something.py, and it contains routines that are recognized as tests.

Just looking for this for myself and found: Jetbrains Help. Most be a new feature. At least since version 2016.1 under the configuration tab for Run/Debug you can now select the radio button labeled "All tests in folder". Even though I edited an already existing configuration I had to reselect the folder I wanted to run.
