Scenario: You have a number of classes, and they are perhaps even members of a library. Now you find out that the folder one of the classes and it's member files are stored in on disk should be renamed, or you wish to move a number of the files (as a group) to a different folder...
End result; LabVIEW will at best ask you where the files have gone, and then typically fail(!) to relink and get back to runnable code. At worst you end up at a dead end/nightmare, with a "class or library corrupt"-message...(editing the XML content of the class file might solve it yes...but that's not a proper solution).
I understand that it can be complex for LabVIEW to track the changes done externally, and/or be able to link everything back up, but it should be able to do it better than it does (not) with the guidance of the user.
And if that's too big a task, could we at least get the possibility of renaming folders on disk from the project explorer - and *then* get LabVIEW to automatically handle the changes correctly?
PS. There might be ways of doing this already without running into trouble that I'm just not aware of (hopefully!), but the suggestion still stands, as it is obviously too vulnerable and counter-intuitive as it is now...
