What types of LabVIEW right-click menu features do you want to create?

[Jim_Kring]

The JKI Right-Click Framework and LabVIEW Scripting will be released shortly.  What types of new LabVIEW features do you want to see implemented?

Update: We've moved this discussion to the JKI Right-Click Framework Group.

I'd like a "shrink structure to content"!

I had a little "free time" a few weeks ago so I tryed to do it with scripting, it appeared to be a little more complicated than what I thought at first so I never finished it but it's definitely doable and I think it would be a nice feature.

I like this idea!  I can see how it would be a little tricky in scripting

[seeker169]

Something that might be called "Delete and Connect".  For example, in your sample video, I'd like to be able to delete one of those write/read file vis and have the error wire input automatically reconnect to the output wire.  Kind of the opposite of the "insert" function.

I don't know enough about scripting (yet!) to know if this is possible...

I'd like to be able to select several items, align and stack them and clean up the wires.  I have an OCD...

[kegghead]

Agreed! Being able to delete a string of VIs and still have whatever wires are common to the start and end point all wired up would be nice.

Select String or enum constant and 'jump to state' (will need scanning all case structures in SubVIs as well).

BTW: is your tool available for 7.1? I would like to partcipate in community efforts on making such tools. But don't have a newer version...

Edit: Some more ideas:

* Edit Tags associated with VI (or other)

* SCC status (I just know that I can control SVNTortoise via ActiveX).

* And advanced 'Find all instances', that not only caches the last search, to use it for browsing several layers of VIs

Darren suggested that feature, here, on his blog.  He might already be working on it

Jim, the framework looks absolutely fantastic.

The pet feature I've often wanted to see, but never had time to develop: select objects, right click, and in one step (not nine!), create a merge (or shell) vi for instant replication.  Automatically drop the vi into a "snippets" palette, and into the quickdrop system.

Hi Felix,

The RCF tool is going to be available for LabVIEW 8.2 and greater.

Thanks,
