I have done it again! Every so often I get a VI running just the way I like it, save it (back it up as well), but when I go to use it the next time, all of my carefully chosen control values are gone. Having seen similar problems on the forum (in both questions and answers), I am not the only one. There is by default no keyboard shortcut to 'Make current values default', I have changed Ctrl-D (default) to do it so I usually go Ctrl-D Ctrl-S. (Ctrl-D is set to do something else, I forget what, but I never used that shortcut anyway). I suggest a modest change to the save dialog to add a little checkbox option (default unchecked) to 'Make current values default'. A gentle reminder the first time we save a VI.
