I am curious if NI would consider this a bug, or if it should be a feature request on the Idea Exchange.
I typically have some small footprint VIs in a library/class/etc (i.e. they have a small icon). In these cases I don't like to use the library icon. In the Icon editor, I simply hide the NI_Library layer, and everything is fine. Except, if I make a change to the library icon, LabVIEW, makes the layer visible again. I am guessing that LabVIEW is actually deleting and adding the layers.
Regardless, shouldn't LabVIEW check the visbility status of the layer and keep it intact after the update?
This is all in LV2011.
