add option "get icon from owning library / class"

Status: New

Sometimes / often it happens that I add an existing VI to an exiting class or lib.

In this case the icon of the added VI stays at it is and does not change to the libraries icon. I could use the lvlib-option-function "apply icon to VIs" but this changes all my VIs which is not appreciated!

 

What I suggest to add is a right-click option to the VIs icon "set library icon" (see attached picture).

You can do this from the icon editor of the VI:

Import Icon from Owning Library.PNG

 

So it's just a few clicks away.

 

Having an icon editing function at the location you suggest seems a bit weird to me.

And GOOp or/and G# let you do this from the project explorer.

 

Works good for me.
