OpenG Tool Releases

[jgcode]

I have updated a few OpenG Tools to LabVIEW 2009 and VIPM 2011, addressing any issues along the way.

These packages will be available for download through VIPM in a few days.

Rename Folder of VIs (v4.0.0.15)

Note: This tool should be mass compiled (VIPM option) for use in LabVIEW 2010+ otherwise it will take a while to load due to the internal dependencies.

Locate File in Project (v4.0.0.7)

Compare VI To Disk (v4.0.0.9)

Thanks to Danny Thomson for reporting, fixing and testing a bug relating to Application Instances.

Kind regards

Hello,

I was a big fan of "Locate File in project" tool. Does it need to be still supported since his feature seems to be supported by Ctrl+ Shift +E short-key (available since LV 2009).

Hi Olivier.

That is a good point.

I guess it is just inertia that sends be back to OpenG File>> option.

I will follow this up with the OpenG Board regarding deprecation.

Cheers

Installed Compare to Disk Tool 4.0.0.9 using VI Package Manager on LV2017. Did a mass compile on the C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2017\project\OpenG folder

When click on Tools-->OpenG->Compare VI to Disk, it opens the copy from disk, but does not launch the compare tool. 

The OpenG folder contains two libraries, Compare VI To Disk.llb and _Compare VI To Disk_internal_deps.llb. When I try to open the "compare_vi_to_disk__compare_vi_to_disk.vi" in the Compare VI To Disk.llb  I get the following error "Make sure that the compare to disk library is located in the ..\LabVIEW\project directory."

If I move "Compare VI To Disk.llb" to the LabVIEW 2017\project folder then the Tools menu Copy to Disk option disappears when I restart the project.

So which folder do the two libraries belong in?

C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2017\project\OpenG

OR

C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2017\project

Thanks in advance.
