Allow seletcion of multiple VIs in "Select VI" option

Status: New

At present we can select only a single VI on "RightClick>Select VI" option in Block diagram. It would be much helpful if we can select multiple VIs at the same time. Image for reference

You can however click and drag multiple selected VI's from an open explorer window onto the block diagram.

I am aware of that. The proposed method enhances the present VI selection option.

In the old days you were even able to drag a VI from the file dialog to the diagram. Sadly this is no longer possible.

 

(I guess it broke some established UI guidelines ;). I often used that in the distant past)

altenback, you can do it with this key in your LabVIEW.ini file 

 

allowDragDropFromFileDlg=True

 

Hope that help
