Static File Reference

Status: New

Similar to a Static VI Reference, you could have a static file reference which would function just like a path but would allow non-VI files such as a script to be called by a sysexec call or a python node, etc. to be implicitly included in a build without having to remember to add them as "always included".



I saw my father do some work on a car once as a kid and I asked him "How did you know how to do that?" He responded "I didn't, I had to figure it out."

It’s a really cool idea. I can only imagine how difficult this would be to actually implement within labview.

 

In case you are open to other ideas, you could probably add your file as a member of a library LVLIB File. I believe that such files will be automatically included as support files in the final build. I do know that VI package manager will include such files when it builds a VI package.
