This is and has been my number 1 request for LabVIEW for many years now. I don't see how anyone who works with Actor Framework isn't clamoring for this. Some weeks, when I'm debugging runaway actors, I probably spend 10-50% of my work hours just waiting for labview to exit and finally close all those vis that I could never find and close, and then reloading my 10,000 vi project, making a small change for debug purposes, then locking it all up again, and repeating.
Edit: and before someone suggests it, I have tried utilities like "kill 'em all.vi" and our internally created "Abort everything" vi which attempt to kill everything in memory. Aside from the fact that they take about half an hour to run, they don't seem to actually get the job done. Hell, sometimes even labview can't get it done when I've selected File->Exit and I finally have to kill labview from task manager.
