Go to output location after building

[altenbach]

Whenever I built something (executable, installer) I want to go to the output location to change some filenames for distribution (e.g. I change "volume" folder of the installer to contain the name and version in the program name), zip things up to post on the server, etc.

On the final progress screen, where it tells me that the built has finished, I would like an additional button to open the target folder location(s) in explorer (similar to e.g. when downloading a file using IE) while dismissing the dialog.

Right now it says:

"The build is complete. you can locate the built at <very long and hard to remember path spread over 3-4 lines and that cannot be coped/pasted from this dialog anyway>."

Well, if the builder is smart enough to know where things are, why can't it just directly take me there as an option? 😄

Much needed, I have always wanted this. Invariably, the first thing I do after a build is go to that folder... might as well be a button to take me right there.

You can do this in 8.6 by right-clicking on the EXE or Installer item in the project and select Explore.

Can I kudo this twice? Or maybe three times?

When a webservice is deployed, there should be an option to launch a website with the correct address.

In LabVIEW 2010, there is now a button in the Build Status dialog that will open a window to the destination directory.

I would never decline a completed idea. 😄
