Packed libraries without folder hierarchy

[Mellroth]

I'd like to be able to build packed libraries with a flat structure regardless of the actual file structure, i.e. no history of folders in the paths.

A safe way to do it seems to be

1. create a Source distribution that adds prefix to files

2. use an auto-populating folder to suck all the source distro files into the project

3. build the packed library from the library in the source distro.

 

Since this works I really don't see any point why the "Preserve hierarchy" option is always enabled and dimmed in the packed library build specification.

I have even tried editing the .lvproj xml-file to disable the "Preserve hierarchy" option, and it sure works.

 

Have anyone else tried this?

Why is the Preserve Hierarchy option dimmed in the first place?

 

From my point the packed libraries should never include the file structure, instead I'd like them to reflect the virtual hierarchy of my public files in the lvlib that is the source of the packed library, or am I missing something that makes the paths essential?

Doesn't "use labview 8.x file layout" do this under advance? or am I misunderstanding what you want.

I don't think that option is available for Packed Libraries
