Librarian VIs - Not just for LLBs!

I wanted to clarify a point I made in the presentation about the "Librarian" VIs. Specifically, these six VIs in vi.lib\Utility\libraryn.llb:

  • Librarian Copy.vi
  • Librarian Delete.vi
  • Librarian Get Info.vi
  • Librarian List.vi
  • Librarian Rename.vi
  • Librarian Set Info.vi

These VIs will work on *any* object in your file system...files (inside or outside an LLB) *and* folders. So if, for example, you need to rename *something*, call Librarian Rename.vi...the VI will figure out if the *something* you're renaming is a regular file, something in an LLB, or a folder, and call the appropriate VIs or functions to do the rename.
