Daryl Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) Ok, so I am cleaning up some code in a fairly large project and I was wondering if there is a way to find unused elements in a project file? I have consolidated a bunch of data from FG's and Labview Globals into clusters and shift registers and was wondering if there was a quick easy way to find/delete the stuff that isn't being used anymore?

If you right click on the project name in the project tree, there is an option to "Find Items With No Callers". 3 Quote

ShaunR Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 Shaun! You got a point! Woohoo. How many do I need for a prize Quote

ShaunR Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 For another point, is there a one-click way to delete them? Not that I know of. But I've got a "project cleaner" vi that does Quote
jcarmody Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 But I've got a "project cleaner" vi that does Would you share it? I have a project that I inherited from an outside contractor. I rewrote everything except the CAN driver and want to get the bloat out of the project. I have another project (from the same outside contractor, not coincidentally) in the same boat. Quote
ShaunR Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) Unfortunately its one I wrote for work (copyrights an' all that). But its not hard and you could probably knock up a straight forward one without bells and whistles (i.e compare vis in the project list with those in the directories) in about 1/2 an hour. Mine is quite slow, since it does a lot of checking (compares like the aforesaid and also loads up all vis and checks callers, callees, filepaths and compares duplicates etc) and gives me lists of vis on-disk but not in the project, in the project but in the wrong location, blah, blah. Oh. And I can choose to delete them Edited November 11, 2009 by ShaunR Quote
