Add Locking/Password to Options on a Virtual Folder in a Library

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 2 kudos within 2 years after posting will be automatically declined. 

Similar to specifying the Access Scope for multiple VIs in a library by grouping them in a Virtual Folder and setting the Access Scope of the folder, I'd like to specify locking or password protection for multiple VIs in a LabVIEW library by enabling that on the owning Virtual Folder. The dialog would be the same as if you were setting the Protection on the entire library from the Properties menu.

Do you mind if I ask a moderator to change "protection" to "locking/password" in your idea title and text? Since "Protected" is one of the access scopes, I was really confused by your description.

Of course, thank you, that would be more clear.  In the VI/library property dialog that I currently use, it's in the "Protection" category.
