File IO

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 9 kudos within 9 years after posting will be automatically declined.

List Folder.JPGA function present in File I/O - "List folder" returns FileNames and Folder Names.  But while dealing with "Large Data" set it would badly affect the speed and Memory consumption.  ........ (This is faced in one of application Smiley Sad)

 

User interest would be 1) Only FileNames Or 2) Only Folder Names  3) Both FileNames and Folder Names

 

Can we provide this with Option of selection in "Enum Control" with default as 3)

 

Regards

Hemant.....

Yes!  A right-click option may be a better way to specify what to return.

A much simpler implementation (at least for the user) is for LabVIEW to automatically recognize what you wired out of the primitive - if you only use the file names output, it means you don't want the folder names. LabVIEW already has something like this for entire primitives, so I'm assuming it's also possible for part of a primitive.
